New Post: How to set xlsx cell format to Short Date, i.e. standard Excel date format?

In excel > Format Cells box > Date category > there are two options at the start of the list that are prefixed with '*' to note they change based on regional settings. How can I use NPOI to format a cell with one of these styles?

Specifically I want to format a cell as a date and ensure if it's opened on a machine with UK regional settings it'll show like '31/01/2016' but if it's on a machine with USA regional settings it'll show like '01/31/2016'.

I don't see anything obvious in NPOI.SS.UserModel.DataFormatter to help with this, but probably I'm missing something simple.

Currently I'm using something like this, but it doesn't change based on regional settings:

var format = workbook.CreateDataFormat();
var style = workbook.CreateCellStyle();
style.DataFormat = format.GetFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
cell.CellStyle = style;

thanks,
