Issue
Dates are displaying in US format when previewing .xlsx Excel files in Benchling's MS Office online viewer, even if the user settings and the dates in Excel are set to European date formatting.
Environment
Benchling Notebook with MS Office Online viewer enabled
Cause
Microsoft office (MS) Online viewer is developed and managed by Microsoft, and does not take Benchling user locale or file location/date settings into account when previewing files in the Notebook
Resolution steps
It is expected behavior that MS Office Online viewer follows US date formats and does not align automatically with Benchling or the uploaded file.
