My computer only gives me a choice of american formatting for the date and i
want the british format (day before month) is there a way of changing the
format as it is confusing me to death when i look at the dates of birth.
 
In Excel 2007 if you go to "More Number Formats..." you'll get the Format
Cells window. In previous versions of Excel, this is accessed through the
Format Cells option.

In here, go to Custom and you can type in the date format you want to use

British format would be some modification of: dd mm yyyy

You can add - or / between the groups if you'd prefer over spaces.
