How do I report a Date Format bug in Excel 2003 to Microsoft ?
I've imported some MYOB general ledger reports into Excel, but have found
that Excel 2003 reads dates in the first 12 days of the month as MM/DD/YYYY (USA format) when they are actually DD/MM/YYYY (i.e. European / Austalian / NZ format), even though i have correctly set my Windows Regional settings to Australia (i.e. DD/MM/YYYY). Am really sick of having to scan sometimes 200 lines to fix these dates - very annoying. Excel 2000 doesn't make this boo-boo ! Is anyone at MS working on this URGENT problem ??? Have also reported this issue to MYOB Support in Melbourne. Kym Yeoward Alice Springs NT |

Are you importing as text, or does MYOB export in Excel format?
If text, you can guide Excel to to the correct date format in the text import wizard.
