Hi :)
That is what i was thinking of but now i re-read the original post in
this thread i think that has already been tried.

Maybe just use Brian's advice but instead of making it a text-field
just keep it as a normal number-field or (if it does allow you (which
i doubt)) as a date field.  In the Csv file the date then probably
won't look like a date, just as some weird number instead.  Calc will
let you format the column in some suitable date format.
Regards from
Tom :)

I have an .ods file and a column with dates in it resists all my attempts
to change the format.  The column was created when I opened a .csv file in
Calc and the dates were shown as, for example, 12 Feb 2014.
At some time during the editing of this file the dates became shown as
12-Feb-14 but I have not intended this change.  What I want is date in
DD/MM/YYYY format.  I can highlight the column and try and format it but
nothing changes.  Am I doing something wrong here?

Try using FORMAT >> CELLS >> Numbers then select Date then select date
format. This works for me when I want to clean csv file date imports.
