Default Format for making date calculations

I have gotten a new
computer and had all my programs and documents etc copied over to it. For
some reason, in excel, all my date formats were changed from dd/mm/yyyy to
mm/dd/yyyy and my date calculations are not working now. I have gone in to
"format cells" and set the format to custom which changed my date fields back
to dd/mm/yyyy, but my calculations still don't work.

Default Format for making date calculations

In Start | Control Panel, open Regional Setting and set the date format the
way you want it.
The actual format of dates in Excel should have no effect on how functions
works since dates are actually stored as numbers like 39869.
Tell us about the non-working formulas
