Using a German user interface of OOo 2.3.1 by Sun under Linux I can get a format string from German number format code =TEXT($A$1;"JJJJ-MM-TT") as well as from English number format code =TEXT($A$1;"YYYY-MM-DD")
Both return the same ISO date-string of a number in A1. Can I take English format codes for granted with all locales? Of course, the same can not work when decimal separators (comma vs. dot) come into play. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
