  • Couple question for you; 1) You still want Excel to recognize it as a date or is this purely an aesthetic issue? 2) Have you tried wrap text and reducing the cell width?

  • @CharlieRB is correct, if you want it recognized as a date you will need to do some wrap text and width adjustment. Otherwise, if it's text, there's plenty of things we could do.

  • Thanks for answering my questions. I would suggest trying my answer below. It is the only way I know to easily retain the data as dates. The only thing you are doing is changing the format.
