Sure. Select any cell in the table and then at the upper right corner, click on Format, then below it, click on Cell. Right below it, under Data Format, click and hold on the selection button and scroll down to Date & Time. Voila!

Okay, let’s try again, step by step.

Open the document you want to format the dates in. Click on any cell. Look to the top right. Do you see the buttons with Format and Organize below them? If yes, click on the left button (above Format) if not already selected. The sidebar should expand.

The sidebar should have Table, Cell, Text, and Arrange for headers. Click on “Cell.”

The first entry that comes up will be “Data Format.” Below it, labeled “Automatic,” is a dropdown button to expand a list of choices. Click on that button, to reveal your choices.

From the list, scroll down with the cursor and select “Date & Time.” Right there, you can set up the formats for date and time. We may not be running the same version of macOS. I have Sequoia 15.3, so our versions of Numbers.app may have some differences. But this is the way I remember doing it ever since I started using Numbers (God knows how many) years ago.

I discovered one more option to format dates. That is under the Organize panel
