Is mm/dd/yyyy format correct?
The United States is one of the few countries that use “mm-dd-yyyy” as their date format–which is very very unique! The day is written first and the year last in most countries (dd-mm-yyyy) and some nations, such as Iran, Korea, and China, write the year first and the day last (yyyy-mm-dd).
Which countries use dd MM yyyy?
Basic group behaviour shows it's weird. Despite the variety of date formats used around world, the US is the only country to insist on using mm-dd-yyyy.
How is dd MM yyyy written?

What is the right format for date?
The international standard recommends writing the date as year, then month, then the day: YYYY-MM-DD. So if both the Australian and American used this, they would both write the date as 2019-02-03. Writing the date this way avoids confusion by placing the year first. Much of Asia uses this form when writing the date.
How do I change the date format from MM dd yy to MM dd yyyy?
Press Ctrl+1 to open the Format Cells dialog. On the Number tab, select Custom from the Category list and type the date format you want in the Type box. Click OK to save the changes.
