Default How do I set dates to ISO INternational?

I recently upgraded to Office 2007. I can't find date conversion to
International ISO date format any more (20020101, e.g.)

What am I missing?

Use, in VBA,

S = Format(TheDate,"yyyymmdd")

or as a formula,
=TEXT(TheDate,"yyyymmdd")

or as a custom number format
yyyymmdd

Thanks, I had just figured out the custom option. But it's an extra few
steps from just picking it as the date option in Excel 2003. Bummer.

Have you tried changing your Windows Regional Setting - that's where Excel
picks it default date format from
