Default date format in excel
From a non editable database i copy (for example) 02/01/2007, excel reads:
two of january of 2007 (equal to 39084) , but the real date is one of febraury of 2007 (Equal to 39114). How Can I make that excel takes as default the date format "mmmm/dd/aaaa". I already try changing the format but excel always takes two of january of 2007. Thanks. |

Default date format in excel
Fenosa,
Try changing your Windows Regional format settings. Start - Control Panel - Regional and language options. Changing the cell format only changes how the date-serial in the cell is displayed. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Fenosa" wrote in message ...
