It's the same date, it's just formatted differently on your spreadsheet (at
least, I assume that if you entered 03/25/2005 you would see 25/03/2005). To
correct, select the cells with dates (individual cells, whole columns, whole
rows, etc) and then select Format | Cells | Number. Pick "Date", then select
the format you want.
