DTS to export formated date to excel

Hello,

I am trying to output data from my sql table to an excel spreadsheet and send it by email which works fine, the problem is he wants the date to be in the format d-mmm-yy, which is easy to format in excel manually, but he do not want to do this manually. I tried to do this when I select the date from the table to spreadsheet, "select convert(char,value_date,106) from table", but this don't get transported to the excel spreadsheet, I get my results on the spread sheet as dd/mm/yy. Can you please help either to set the date on excel forever to be in this format "d-mmm-yy" or to force this output to excelOk, i manage to answer myself, you need to format the cells onto the excel file itself
