Hi Helpers,

I need to set the date format for my variable to this: yyyy-mm-dd. Can you tell how can I do this? What I have by default is this: mm/dd/yyyy

This is how I declare my variable:
VBA Code:
    Dim Today As Date
    Today = Date

I have a long VBA where I use this to populate many fields. In some fields Today stands alone, in others it's concatenated with other strings.

Thanks in advance

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
VBA Code:
range("A1")="Today is " & format(Today,"mm/dd/yyyy")

Normally one would not use "Today" as a variable as it is part of an excel function.
