Default How do I convert a number formated as a date to text in Excel?

I need to convert several columns of dates in excel to text. When I simply
use the format cells command to reformat the cells to text, it first converts
the date back to the underlying number then converts it to text. Hope I'm
being clear here.

Example - the date as viewed on the screen is Mon (Monday). When I convert
it to text I get 38446. I want "Mon", in text format. Thanks!
