Search and replace quarter dates

Post by JKC » 07 Apr 2016 18:07

I have several thousand imported marriage quarter dates which appear as "Mar Qtr ****" etc.
(****is the year number e.g 1851)
How can I replace these with non-text standard dates e.g Q1 1851 ?

Brilliant program! All 7000 dates changed automatically with only a handful requiring manual correction (due to typos in the original dates and not a failure of the program) Very many thanks to the author,
