Hi,
I have a strange behaviour with Excel 2013 on Windows 8. First time I see this with Excel.
My regional settings for short date format are set like this: "DD/MM/AAAA" (Belgium).
If I insert a date into MS Word, the date is displayed properly. In Outlook (email dates or calendar appointments) dates are fine too.
But if I open an Excel file or create a new one, any date I enter in a cell is displayed like "DD-MM-AAAA". Since there is no way to set a default date format for Excel, I wonder how that can be??
Of course, I checked the cell format: Each date formats uses the "-" as a separator, even the format starting with a * (=format depending on the system defaults). If I want the cell to display my date format, I have to create a custom format.
I tried to change my system settings, start and close Excel, rechange the settings, but no effect. Into Word, when you click "insert date" there is "set default" button, I tried that too. Nothing. I searched on the Internet without a single result.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michaël
