Date Formatting Won't Change
- Finally figured this out.
Change the date format of your computer from the taskbar.
Regardless of timezone and all, go to your task bar> click the time/date > region >then look for additional date, time & regional settings > change date, time and number formats> additional settings> then go to the date tab and you can manually set the format by using the MMM dd yyyy or whichever format you want it in. Restart your computer and it should work on excel.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I am having your exact same issue. Tried windows settings, number formatting, custom formatting. I am at my wit's end. jwellesley2022
I wouldn't call it a bug since Excel is most likely behaving exactly intended. If the date is not provided in a format that conforms to your machine locale it will be read as text and no amount of number formatting will help. If you are importing the data, it should be possible to use PowerQuery to convert the date format or, within Excel, date to columns can be instructed to accept 'foreign' formats.
Have a look at SergeiBaklan 's replies in this thread.
Has anyone notice that some Access 2016 tables show up and some don't since last update?
The table is there but nothing is visible when you look at the query of the table.
