Date not formatting correctly

Hello all,

My cells are formatted as dates in the format “March 6, 2016”. When I enter the date in that format it will display that way in the cell, but in the function bar it formats it as “03/06/2017”. For my purpose, I need them to all be in the “March 6, 2017” format in both the cell and the formula bar. I really don’t care if the cells are formatted as a date or text, but if I format the cells as text, many of the dates change to a five digit number that is not a date. I have also tried copying and pasting the data to a new sheet by only pasting the values, but then some values paste as a five digit number that is not a date.

Attached is a copy of the file I am working with. Not all dates do this. Column A and most of column B show the correct format in the cell and formula bar, so look at column C and D to see the issue.

Thanks
