Hello,
I need help with formatting my Date column in Open office. Currently the default
view is DD/MM/YYYY and I would really appreciate if I could change the
formatting to YY/MM/DD.
I tried ‘format cell’ and still I can’t seem to be able to change it. Please
help
Kind regards,
I am guessing that this in Calc. Right click, select Format Cell. In
the pop-up under the Number tab, select Date. Now under the Format
column click the format that shows 199-12-31. In the Format code box
delete the first two "Y". Click "OK" to save and close the pop-up. The
date format you need should now be shown in the cell. Just remember
that this formatting is only for display not how that the data is entered.
