How can I change Excel to use the British date system?

[EddieA]

My copy of Excel seems stuck in the default (US) date format which can get
very confusing. How can I change it to the British system which I'm used to?
i.e. dd/mm

Hi,

Select format > cells > Date > location then select English (UK)

Also can do custom and enter the format you want

Hi EddieA,

If you select English (UK) in Windows/Regional settings, Excel will follow
it as default.

Problem may not be in Excel, but in Windows. Regional Settings?
