I believe that Excel default date formats are taken from Windows general settings.

Go to Control Panel > Regional and Language Options and change the "Short Date" format.

Or, instead of changing the format for the entire operating system, simply change the format for that column in the Excel sheet.

There is another thread dealing with exactly the same problem ! There are several issues with the date format in Excel, related to the default settins and language used. Format the destination cells as string (fortunately the code format - @ - seems to be universal) and you will avoid a lot of problems.

if my date; 01/12/2008 (dd/mm/yyyy) the problem will be coming...

it's will transfer to excel and display 12/01/2008

Have you tried the solution proposed in the other thread (see above - that solved definitively the date problem for me) ? What's the issue with this solution your specific case ? Can you post a short sample VI that shows the problem ?
