Excel recognizes a number as a date by its date format, which uses a slash (/) as a separator, for example, 1/26/2008 is recognized as a date by Excel. Can anyone tell me how to set my PC to accept the full stop as the separator? The context that this is in is only really for Excel e.g. to type in today’s date I used to enter 26.3.8 and it would auto correct it to 26.03.8.
This was previously changed through the ‘Regional Settings’ option but the option is no longer there...
