hi deep ,

you wote like  ' my excel sheet it is downloaded as 'yyyymmdd, while I was expecting yyyymmdd '  , so I could not get your question properly in which format you want the date .

What i  know that

if you assign date using  '= ' operator and concatnate ,

then  format will be 'yyyymmdd'.

ex.

ls_date = sy-datum.

if you use  'write to'  and concatnate 

then format will be 'MMDDYYYY'.

ex.

write sy-datum to ls_date.

I think  you already know this.

If this not soving the issue please let me know.
