When you open the exported file in Excel, Excel automatically reformats the date according to its default settings. To retain the original date format, you can manually change the format in Excel. Here's how you can do it: 1. Select the column with the dates. 2. Right-click and select 'Format cells'. 3. Select 'Custom' and set it to the desired format (e.g., "MMM YYYY"). If you're unfamiliar with custom formats in Excel, you can find numerous resources online to guide you. As for the issue with the date format in the Invoice PDF generated by a scheduled workflow, it seems that the workflow might be using the date format preferences of the workflow owner or the global preferences, not the subsidiary's preferences. One possible workaround could be to change the workflow owner's date preferences to match the desired format. However, this might not always work, as indicated in the conversations. Lastly, regarding the export of a saved search to Excel, it seems that the title and date range are not included in the export. Changing the layout to "report" might not solve this issue. Unfortunately, exporting the filters along with the saved search does not seem to be possible in NetSuite.
