I formatted a column to custom 'dd mmm yyyy' which is mostly what's wanted but some of the data has year only.
So I've been entering 'dd mmm 1999'. Now I don't like it as there's too many, and having the year only is tidier.
Changing the Format to text allows the year only but changes the full formatted Date to a number.
Some values also don't have a year so "07 Apr 19?" is used.
Is there a format where I can have all those without (as someone said) having a leading apostrophe?
And I think I need to remove the value for each cell, reformat it, and reapply the value.
