I have a column of dates (Jul 2,2009) that I want to format as 7/2/09. I can change the formatting to anything I want and the cells never change. What's wrong?
Basically, the country locale you are in might be the one.
Go to File -> SpreadSheet Settings. Select the correct Locale.
Eg, US is mm/dd/yyyy whereas UK is dd/mm/yyyy
Then you try again to change the format.
Hope this helps.
