hi, have a series of dates but everytime i try converting them to text a
number comes up. How can I convert my dates to text but keep the date format.

Please Help
 
In a helper column................

=TEXT(A1,"mmmm-dd-yyyy")

You choose the format within the double quotes

Copy and paste special(in place)>values>ok>esc

Delete column A

Or copy and paste special(onto column A)
