Trying to set up field in Excel Data Source file so that the current date can

Is it possible or am I stuck with dd/mmm/yy format?

You can certainly type in or input the date in that format. It will be
interpreted as TEXT by Excel.

Perhaps if you explained your problem in more detail ???

Entering a date in that format seems rather inefficient compared to other
methods.
