Change date format to European format

[Scott]

My computer is set to European date format but Excel is default to American
date format. Can someone advise how to change this default setting.

Thanks,

Scott

Have you restarted Excel since setting the system date formatting? Excel
takes its cue from the OS on launch. Also, double-check the Regional setting
in the System Prefs.

If those aren't the cause you'll need to be specific about your version &
update levels of both Office & OS X plus any other details you can supply.

Hi everyone!

I'm having the same problem and yes, I have restarted EXCEL but the problem persists.

I'm running OS X "Snow Leopard" on MACBOOK Pro.

Thank you in advance for your comments...

Check all the different date/time formats. Short, medium, long and full
in the System preferences.
It's easy to overlook one unfortunately,
