Some applications may change the date format on your computer and this affects how the date is displayed in Agresso or Excel.  This issue isn't actually with the Agresso or Excel settings, it is actually a change that has been made to Windows.

To change the date back:

  • Close Agresso or Excel
  • Click on Start --> Control Panel
  • -If you have only 7 categories, click on the link Clock, Languages and Region then Region and Language
  • -If you have many icons then simply double-click on Region and Language icon
  • Select the Formats tab
  • The preferred Short date is yyyy-MM-dd and Long date is MMMM-dd-yy
  • Click OK

You are done.  Re-start Agresso/Excel and the date should be correct now.
