YYYY/MM/DD...

You can not change the internal format of the dates.

If they are columns of Dates in an ODF spreadsheet they do not need to be
changed--actually can not be changed--rather you just need to change their
display format. Select the column, the Format -> Cells  and in the dialog
select Date and a format you need. The YYYY-MM-DD is predefined. Or you can
add a format code to use an alternate separator.

If the file is CSV, set it as date during import and set the display format
needed.

Well, that fixes one column.
Ill have to figure out the rest then.

Thanks for the information.
