How about selecting that column and doing
Data|Filter|Autofilter.

You can filter to show the dates greater than December 31, 1945.

=====
Or you can sort by those dates and then delete the ones you don't want. There's
nothing special about sorting by dates--excel treats them as numbers. And the
format is just that--a format. It doesn't change the underlying value (or
date).

If you want to see the dates before 1946 the filter should show the
dates earlier (or less than) 1/1/1946.
