One possibility is that the "date" isn't a date recognized by Excel. Could be
just text. Perhaps you could paste some examples here in reply (copy the
values direct from the formula bar)

I'm having trouble formatting dates in a office basic edition.
I'm going about it how I normally would, eg.
R click, format cells, date then selecting the one required, but it has
no effect.
I found the spreadsheet locked in protection so I unlocked it but this
didn't help.
