User data formats

In QUERY, you can specify whether data is displayed as raw data or as formatted data.

Use regional settings. Select this check box to ensure that dates and numbers are downloaded and displayed in accordance with the regional settings on your computer. Regional settings apply to Excel, text, and XML files. Regional settings also apply to data that is displayed in QUERY, such as previewed text and values displayed through F4.

Access and SQL Server databases use their own data formats and do not display data in the regional setting format.

You specify regional settings on the Regional and Language Options dialog box that is available through Control Panel on your computer.

Clear the Use regional settings check box. Clear this check box to download raw data in Excel, text, and XML files. Raw data is displayed in QUERY, such as in previewed text and values displayed through F4. Access and SQL Server databases use their own data formats.

Dates. You can specify the download format for dates in the Date Format box. The date format selected is used to display dates in Excel, text, and XML files, in Access and SQL Server databases, and in preview and F4 values that are displayed in QUERY.
