    format the cells as date in the required format
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Re: Change the Settings of Excel Column

    Many ways you can do it...

    1) Like Pete mentioned, Format the cells by right clicking on it and select 'Format Cells'. Under Number "Tab", select Custom and in 'Type' type d/m/yyyy. Click Ok.

    OR

    2) Change the regional settings of your computer by clicking on Control Panel. See this link on how to do it.

    you can also change the cell formatting by code
    range("c:c").numberformat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
