Hi, I m facing a problem when I exporting the  start and the finish dates from P6 to excel.

It comes out with the output as text "mm/dd/yyyy" (column A)

I have use the format Value (column A) to get the date with "dd/mm/yyyy" as d new column (column B).  However, when my colleagues open my file, & click enabled editing, all the date in column B become #Value.

Now I am thinking if it is the exporting problem in P6.

Can anyone help on this to make when exporting, i can get text "dd/mm/yyyy"?

My major question is why while exporting, the date in excel become mm/dd/yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy.

I m trying not to copy paste in excel but to get solution in p6

pls try the excel formula text to convert to dd-mm-yyyy and then paste as value, then multiply with 1 then reformat as date format.
