True dates (just like numbers, which is what they really are) are by default right-justified in the cell. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] does this work for you?
That was it but it happened because I copied a file with 2023 dates to a new file and then replaced 2023 with 2024 (replace all, selection only) and it loses the formatting (resets to the formatting in A1) in W1.

Because you've got the formatting wrong in the second cell.

Re: [libreoffice-users] does this work for you?
That explains my test spreadsheet and I fixed that in the test and it works. My original doesn't work and is definitely a date. I deleted mostly everything from the original and uploaded it (same file name). https://www.mediafire.com/file/19yqomh4pp67cy7/2023-05-05-test-ods.ods/file On 2023-05-05 16:14, Brian Barker wrote: At 15:41 05/05/2023 -0400, James Lockie wrote: Does this work for you?

Does this work for you? The A1 cell contains a date with a date format (NN, MMM D, ) that displays the weekday month day year.. The B1 cell contains a reference to the A1 cell but has a date format () that is only supposed to display the month.
