Ranorex opening excel .csv and changing date format from UK format to US format

Post by _test_king » Fri Aug 03, 2018 10:00 am

I have an excel .csv file in UK date/time format, but when Ranorex opens the .csv file it is switching the UK format (DD/MM/YYYY) to US format (MM/DD/YYYY). Why would Ranorex be doing this and how can I prevent it from doing it? My data/time formatting in Excel is definitely set as UK format.

Hi all,

The customer contacted us directly.
The problem was the default value of the property "NumberFormat". Simply set this property like in the following example.

Code: Select all

range.EntireColumn.NumberFormat = "DD/MM/YYYY";
I hope that helps.

Sincerely,
Matthias
