How can I change a date to UK format without shuffling the actual
Hi,
When I try to import a set of dates from Internet explorer, the date format changes to US date format those dates are =<12. If I try to convert those date format the dd/mm/yyyy shuffles to mm/dd/yyyy. Ex: 1/10/2007 changes to 10/01/2007 (Problem date) 13/10/2007 changes to 13/10/2007 (No problem) But my requirement to change from 1/10/2007(US) to 1/10/2007(UK) Can anyone help me? Thank you Venkat |

Thank you Venkat Excel parses dates according to the Windows Regional Settings which are accessible via the Control Panel. You need to ensure that the date you are importing and the Regional settings match. The cell format settings in Excel itself do NOT affect how the date will be parsed. --ron |

Check your regional options in Windows Control Panel.
