Default Help: Can I change the date formula from mm/dd/yyyy to "mmm-yy" et

Hi,

If the date was input as mm/dd/yyyy (12/31/2004), can I convert the format
to "yyyy-mm-dd"(2004-12-31) or "mmm-yy"(Dec-2004)? i tried to change date
format from "Format Cells-- Number tab--Category--choose "date" or "custom"
but just failed.

While Strangely, If i imput the data as "2004-12-31", i can change it to
whatever date format i like.

Appreicate your advice at earliest convenience.

Thanks
