Default Date format

Please could someone assist.

I have some data submitted to me, which on the screen is displayed as
1926:04:12 (which is the year:month:date), though excel is holding the data
as a time field, in the background which is 20/03/1900 06:04:12.

How do i capture the true data, I have tried various format changes, though
excel believes its the time i am changing not the values which i am seeing on
the screen.

any help would be appreciated.
