    Dear All,

    I have been facing issues with Date after writing the collection to excel .
    1) Date as a Text in Collection.
    2) Date as Date  in collection.

    1)Date as a Text in Collection:
     when I use Date as a Text in collection and after writing it to Excel , the Date format changes from "dd/MM/yyyy" to "MM/dd/yyyy" .  This change occurs randomly each time and not with all the dates . The current BP version I am using is 6.10.When Writing the Date as a Text to Collection , The occurs as below , Instead of 01/11/2022 it changes to 11/01/2022 . Any help is much appreciated
