Hello Eskha, yes, thank you, indeed, the minus works for me, too. It is a bit confusing because it takes the place of the first year digit, so the earliest year you can do is -999, but that's fine for my purpose. But I still cannot get the first century AD to work. Any year with two leading zeroes is interpreted as 19..Is there a trick for that somehow?
