How can I change Excel to use the British date system?
 
My copy of Excel seems stuck in the default (US) date format which can get
very confusing. How can I change it to the British system which I'm used to?
i.e. dd/mm

Hi,

Select format cells Date location then select English (UK)

Also can do custom and enter the format you want

Problem may not be in Excel, but in Windows. Regional Settings?

Hi EddieA,

If you select English (UK) in Windows/Regional settings, Excel will follow
it as default.
