Default forcing date to excel

Hi
I wrote a query in sql and export to excel. To make sure user can see the
date
I use the convert() function to column A.
The problem is at other corner of excel a cell B1 referenced to column A
can not convert to serial number with formula ="=" &A1
My question: What is the date format so B1 can have the serial number
with above formula?
Thanks
Daniel
