Default Convert date to text without changing format dd/mm/yy

I have a bunch of dates, formated as mm/dd/yy. To export them to the program
I want to work on them with they need to be in text format.
If I do the format cellsnumber tabtext, it converts them to some long
string of digits along the lines of 39296, and so on.
How can I retain the mm/dd/yy format as text without hand typing each one?
