Excel Dates

Copper Contributor

Today, January 9, 2019.

When I open a new workbook, go to cell A1, enter 1/9,

the cell shows 9-Jan

 

How do I change this?

I am NOT talking about the format cells path.

 

How do I declare how I want the date to be displayed by default?

I thought I did.

@tlclear8W- I may be wrong, but I think the reason you are getting a lot of views and not many answers is that the only way to determine that is to use the "Format Cells..." -> "Custom" -> "dd/mm/yyyy" (or similar), which you seem to have ruled out. Best regards, Tony
