One fairly easy solution, select the cell/column with the text dates,
do data>text to column, click next twice and under column data format
select date and from the dropdown select DMY and click finish, this will
change it to a numerical date and then you can just use custom format like
dd-mmm-yyyy

Hi Roger,
that would work if the OP is using UK regional settings but not if he uses
US since it will return a value error

if your date is in cell A1 in the next cell type =datevalue(A1), then go to
format-->cell--> date-->choose type 14-Mar-2001 ( it is the last item).
Hope it works.

This won't work if the OP is using US regional settings which I suspect
he/she might do
