Hello
I'm working on excel 2007 and I have a workbook with 15 sheets. The problem
is that the dates are all in English US and I want them in English UK. What
is the solution to change all the 15 sheets at once?

Thanks in advance.

Group the sheets, then format cells.
Then ungroup the sheets to avoid confusion.

Thanks in advance.

The following small macro:

Sub fixum()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim r As Range, rng As Range
For Each sh In Sheets
sh.Activate
Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
For Each r In rng
If r.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy" Then
r.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy"
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

will loop over all your sheets and change cell formatted like:
12/28/2009
to:
28/12/2009

You will need to modify the code if the original format differs from the
above.

I suggest using a different approach and use something like:
28 December 2009

This is easily understood no matter which side of the Atlantic you are
standing on.
