Hi. I've created a spreadsheet Book1.xls, set the dateformat, set a few
cells, but the date displayed is not correct if the day number <= 12. My Windows locale is "English (United States)", short date is "6/15/2007", and location is "United States". Created a new xls file Book1.xls. Select column A and set the format to Date - English (United Kingdom) - 14/03/2001. In cell A2 enter "11/06/2007". The cell contents bar at the top shows the value is "11/6/2007" (which is fine), but the value displayed value in A2 "06/11/2007" which is not correct. Interestingly, if you press F2, then the in place cell editor shows "11/6/2007" (which is the value in the contents bar at the top). In cell A3 enter "12/6/2007". The cell contents bar at the top shows "12/6/2007", but the value displayed in A3 is "06/12/2007" which is not correct. In cell A4 enter "13/06/2007". The cell contents bar at the top shows "13/6/2007", and the value displayed in A4 is also "13/6/2007" which is good. Why is it that if the day number 12 then the format works fine? But if day number <= 12 the format reverts to US format. Thanks in advance. |
