    Problem with date formats in different regions

    Hello,

    I hope you're all well. I'm facing annoying problem and couldn't find any solution on the web. I have template which is sent on regularly basis to people all over the world. This template includes dynamically calculated dates (starting with one month forward):

    My region is polish so "RRRR" stands for year and everything is fine. However that's what is seen by receivers from Italy, Greece, England...etc:
    excel2.PNG
    Now, when I change "RRRR" to "AAAA" which stands for year in Italy the receiver from Italy can see the dates correctly:

    Is there any way to unify this so both sender and receiver see the same value in that particular format?

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
