If A1 contains your date/time, then use this formula...

=INT(A1)

and format the cell as a Date.

I have a list with a field that the date and the time is in the same cells
and is in the date and time format. (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm). I need to be able
to
use the date part of these cells on its own (dd/mm/yyyy) as a data date in
a
seperate column for a pivot table. Can this be done from the new column
using
a function/formula
