Great. Can we automate changing every single goddamn spreadsheet to not be in US date format? And while we're in there, how about adding a locale for New Zealan

- theDoug 8y agoI suspect you have tried this, but if not, - visit https://myaccount.google.com/language https://myaccount.google.com/language - click on (re-choose) English - click on New Zealand as the 'sub-language' should set your locale across the board, rather than doing it on a per-sheet basis. If it doesn't work, as a Canadian, I empathize with your troubles and apologize.
- theDoug 8y agoI've also found visiting https://calendar.google.com/calendar/b/1/r/settings https://calendar.google.com/calendar/b/1/r/settings and setting date format there useful. Not sure if it's a universal setting like the previous, though.
- julianz 8y agoWow, that seems to have got closer, thank you. Spreadsheets are now created with Australian locale, although they have now lost their default timezone completely. I'm interested whether this change will affect other Google products, in particular whether it messes up the operation of Google Assistant on my phone (possibly that can be overridden). Cheers!
