Default date option

Excel News group,

I would like to display "03/04/1997" instead of just the type listed
"03/04/97", I hope there is a option to do this.

I do have XP & excel 97

Thanks, Dave

If that format is not available in FormatNumberDate you can use Custom and
set for dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy.

Alternative.......go to Regional Options in Control Panel and change the
"short date" format to show the full year.

Yes you can. On formart cells, number, go to custom and
change type: to be dd/mm/yyyy and you will smile at the
click of OK. respond please if it did not work but I'm
sure it will work.
