Hi, and welcome to the forum. I moved your topic to the Calc forum.
[Tutorial] Text to Columns
The following tutorial discusses the difference between numbers and text and explains how dates work in Calc. You may find Calc difficult to use until you understand this material.
[Tutorial] Ten concepts that every Calc user should know
If you need any additional assistance attach a spreadsheet demonstrating the difficulty (remove confidential information then use Post Reply, not Quick Reply, and don't attach a picture instead of the spreadsheet itself). I will not help further unless you attach. If the problem is the CSV import, it will help if you show us the first few lines of the CSV file so we can see its structure. Half a dozen is plenty.
This topic describes a similar situation: [Solved] Calc does not recognize Jan-01-2021 as a date
If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit ☐ button and add [Solved] to the start of the Subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.
Date formatting is a numeric format and applies only to cells containing numbers. I suspect that your cells contain text, perhaps due to an incorrect import from the CSV file. Read the following tutorial and import your data again, making sure use Detect Special Numbers and to assign a date for the Column Type in the Text Import dialog.have opened it in Calc but am unable to change the column 'Date' format to show for example 26 Jul instead of 26 Jul 2024.
