How do I change the dropbox excel date format from US to AUS?

droppinguser101 · ‎03-04-2023

Hi,

I live in Australia hence would like to change the date format from US (mm/dd/yyyy) to AUS (dd/mm/yyyy).

I managed to change the date format for Excel for the Web on my computer. However, how do I change the date format for Excel (on Android), and in the Dropbox preview display (for both mobile and computer)?

I cannot get it to change on web 😞

(I'm in UK) so if anybody has any ideas this would be appreciated!!

Hello there @droppinguser101!

The request to alter the Excel date format from US to AUS isn't something that's Dropbox dependent.

You'd need to alter the format within the file, in order to present it in the right order that you want. I'd personally suggest that you check with Microsoft on this. I did some research on my end, and I found this helpful Microsoft article.

I hope this clarifies!
