Incorredt date when exporting to Excel

Question

The Exporting to Excel feature in MYOB is converting the date from AUD format (dd/mm/yyyy) to USD format (mm/dd/yyyy) as per the details in the attached document.

The attached document has both the General Ledger Detail in the PDF & Excel versions. The PDF version is reporting the date correctly but when it is being exported to Excel it is mixing the day and month.

The detials were uploaded via a journal.

The Windoows setting show Melbourne Sydney Time Zone.

How do I fix this so that the Excel version prints the date correclty?

Hi MichaelSpall&nbsp;, I notice that the date format on the journals is dd-Mmm-yy, and I wonder whether setting the short date format to dd/MM/yyyy may work better.&nbsp;When you change the short date format, also select the Adminstrative tab, and tick the option to copy the settings to system accounts.&nbsp;

Hi Mike,&nbsp;Thanks for the reply, though I'm not sure where I need to go to change the date information, in MYOB or Windows?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;Michael

Hi MichaelSpall&nbsp;, that's a Windows setting, via the control panel, regional/language settings, or search for date time settings. I'm not in my office now.
