Default Problems with LEFT Function

Hello. I'm having problems with the LEFT function of Microsoft Excel. I'm
trying to have cell B1 display the date in A1 (but not the time). In cell B1
the formula is
=LEFT(A1,10), and this displays 38623.6205. I do not understand why this
happens, because when I have used the same formula in a different database it
comes up with just the date.

A1 B1
28/09/2005 14:53:36 38623.6205

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks
