I have been able to create a column with the dates in required format using the formula

clear.

Once you create your column with the date formatted properly copy it and paste 
special into a new column including only the text or numbers.

Many thanks Eugenie, I have it now but got there a long way round.

I was very interested in the sheep links and your farming objectives, which we share. We do not have rare sheep at present although we have a few sheep and the tagging looks interesting. We also have a few Shetland cattle, which are rare, and have just completed small extension to the farmhouse for a commercial kitchen so we can open restaurant.

Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Alastair.
