[sc-issues] [Issue 85362] Calc: Default Formatting r uins dates

When selecting default format for cells, the term default is taken by users to mean default for the type I specified (i.e. if the cell is a date, it should be default date format for my country). Unfortunately, in a spreadsheet, default simply means number, integer. So the Default formatting option should be called Reset to default spreadsheet format : integer number. There is no silver bullet. Date operations are made on integers. Not 2 individuals will agree on what is a default format for a date depending on what type of use for that date they want. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Unfortunately, in a spreadsheet, default simply means number, integer. So the Default formatting option should be called Reset to default spreadsheet format : integer number. While I agree that that bug is a UI issue, the fix in my opinion is not to change the text of the UI but rather to bring the application's behaviour in line with what the UI suggests. There is no silver bullet. Date operations are made on integers. Not 2 individuals will agree on what is a default format for a date depending on what type of use for that date they want. No two individuals have to agree! Calc should use the format used when entering the data. For instance, if the user entered 2010-02-11 then Calc should use -mm-dd and if the user entered 27.10.2010 then Calc should use dd.mm.. Of course there is the problem of ambiguity when the user enters 10-12 but that problem is currently assumed in Calc anyway, so Calcs current behaviour (barring any open issues) should be preserved in these cases. That is, if Calc currently recognizes 10/12 as dd/mm/yy then that behaviour should remain. But currently, if the user enters 10-12 and pressed Enter, he sees 10/12/10 in the cell. If he then chooses Default Formatting the cell should display 10-12, not 40463 as it currently does. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

If he enters MM/DD/YY, I want it displayed DD/MM/... we don't have to agree... My default date format may not be the same as your default date format... But a spreadsheet's default format for data is numbers... or else it would be a database... not a spreadsheet. :) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Actually, we do agree. I cannot understand the least significant unit in the middle date format. Do those users have their clocks set to HH:SS:MM as well? My default date format may not be the same as your default date format... But a spreadsheet's default format for data is numbers... or else it would be a database... not a spreadsheet. :) With this in mind, I agree that the Default Format should not necessarily be the format that the spreadsheet was created in. Rather, the Default Format should be the preferred format configured for the user (or, lacking that, the format configured for the user's locale). Therefore, this bug may depend upon bug 5556 (date format in the formula bar not matching that which is set for the OS - unexpected behaviour) and bug 72229(add an option to configure the date format - feature request). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

If the user enters 03102008 and Calc reformats it to 2008-10-03, then the user clicks Default Formating, then Calc should show 03102008 and not 39874. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

When setting any cell to Default Formatting it will set the cell as a number and not a date. Default format is always a number. If would be better if Calc could recognize a date as a date and set the cell to default date format. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

For example, entering 2008-7-7 and then selecting Default Formating causes the cell to display 39636. I do realize that Calc stores dates as integers internally, but if that is the case then the Default Formating for cells that are displayed as dates should be to display the data as a date. The current behaviour is confusing and worrying as it causes users to believe that data is corrupted. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
