Hi Maarten,
To my knowledge that's no a lot what you can do with autoformat in Excel. If suitable you may try to format cell as text before you copy the data. Or use Power Query for proper transfer data from DB2 to Excel. Bit more about that issue is here https://excel.tips.net/T003019_Defeating_Automatic_Date_Parsing.html
