If you are starting with an Excel date, them merely =TEXT(A2,"dd mmm yyyy"),
adjusting the formatting characters to suit your preference.

Is there an easy was to convert date field to text without it converting
to a
serial number. Right now I take the date field, convert text to column,
add
the two columns with a / then concatenate the five columns, then copy
paste
special with values only.

Seems like a long process for simple text. Any suggestions?
