Because I changed the date setting from flexsim Edit>Model Setting, but the output excel file is still in 12-hour format, is there any solution? Thank you!setting.png

To my knowledge, FlexSim 20.2 exports all CSV files with default date/time formats, not custom ones. Most likely, FlexSim is just converting the "FlexSim Time" to a format that Excel can read as a date/time, so FlexSim probably doesn't have any control over how Excel displays it. There is a way to write formatted dates and times to global tables using FlexScript, but there is no easy way to use custom date/time formats from the Model Settings.

One work around is to change the format date/time format once it's in your excel workbook. You can do so by following this guide from Microsoft, under the "Create a Custom Date Format" section. Your custom "type"/format may look like this [yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss]1651681653967.png
