Default Date to text/number Conversion

Using today's date for example: =today() = 11/10/2009

Is it possible to convert the date to text shown as 11-10-2009?

Without typing it in as '11-10-2009

Thanks in Advance

=TEXT(A1,"mm-dd-yyyy")

If you just want to convert cell A1 =today() itself to that format...then
copy pastespecialvalies...and then format cellscustomType mm-dd-yyyy

If this post helps click Yes
