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.
