char needs text

Is there an easy was to convert date field to text without it converting to a
serial number. Right now I take the date field, convert text to column, add
the two columns with a / then concatenate the five columns, then copy paste
special with values only.

Seems like a long process for simple text. Any suggestions?
 
If you are starting with an Excel date, them merely =TEXT(A2,"dd mmm yyyy"),
adjusting the formatting characters to suit your preference.
 
Try =TEXT(A1,"dddd mmmm yyyy")

Where A1 has the data info. You can change the display format, such
as dd/mm/yy or whatever you want.
