    How do i change the format of this worksheet's cell to date

    Hi all,

    I downloaded this excel file from SAP. the date section is in d/m/y. I wanted to change the format to nameofmonth date year (March 14, 2001). But nothing is working the format stays in d/m/y. I have tried changing its format to text, general, date, etc, nothing works. I think it has something to with the way it was converted from SAP. Can someone please take a look at this file and tell me how can I change the format to my preferred date. Thank you

    type a 1 in an unused cell and copy.
    Select the column of dates and paste special - multiply
    reformat as desired

    Select the column - Data- Text to columns -Next - Next and in this last window check " Date" and select MDY, then " Finish" ( try variants on the format if it doesn't work)
