Default Converting dates to different formats

Insert three new columns to the right of this data
Select the column of values
Use Data | Text-to-Column; specify delimited by space; click Next
For the first field specify DMY or MDY as needed (not clear from your
example); click OK
Delete unrequited columns
best wishes

I get an exported file with the date and time column as follows:

6/12/2009 9:01:00 AM (all in one cell)

Is there a way to convert this to just 6/12/2009?

Also how would you convert to just the month?

Thanks!
