Customizing the date format from MS Project to Excel

[Sergio]

Hi There

I am exporting to excel from my MS Project 2016, using the Project Export Wizard.
To make things easier I selected the field to map based on a ad hoc table (baseline, forecasts and actuals basically).
When I open the excel file once the info is exported, cells in Excel are all Text and the dates have different formats:
– Forecast and baseline start and finish: 15 November 2017 8:00
– Actuals start and finish: Wed 15/11/17

Excel do not recognize those as dates…
What is the criteria for the Project Export Wizard to chose that format?
Can I change it?

For the benefit of your understanding I would say that dates in the MS Project table I generated the exportation from is dd/mm/yyy

Thanks in advance
