This has been an ongoing problem

I would like for the date to take the format
international yyyy,MM,dd
No matter what regional settings I give, it just won't .

What am I missing.

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
Well, you could just select the cells that have the date and instead of formatting it as date, select "custom" from the list and enter yyyy/mm/dd.

I don't think there's a way to set it to automatically format that way for default, unless someone's got a macro somewhere.

Hope it helps,
