This is an operating system setting, not Excel.
In Windows, you need to Find your Regional Settings and find the date
settings. Adjust range for interpreting a two-digit year as necessary.
Example:
In Windows XP, you click Customize and then click on the Date Tab from the
Regional Settings and Language dialog.

I was copying some date data from other source to Excel. The orginal format
is 3/12/34, which means March 12 of 2034. But Excel automatically convert as
March 12 of 1934.

Is there any add on or vba program I can get right year in Excel?

Thanks
