Hello,
I created an application in userform to manage a small database, everything works very well except when I type the date in the textbox, I find it inverted in my Excel sheet
for example, I type 03/09/2017 in the textbox but it writes 09/03/2017 in the sheet, thank you for giving me an explanation to solve this problem.
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 59.0.3071.115

Hello
Excel displays dates based on the "regional settings"; you should first check these in the control panel.
If they are correct, then it's because Excel does not recognize the date format from your file.
Since this comes from a text format, that's probably the issue.
Apart from forcing the Excel column to date format, I don't see any solution.
This is quite a common problem when importing into Excel.
Best regards
