These cultural differences can not be resolved by software. This office suite used to handle these things gracefully.
After all those years since Excel '95 I got used to the input method "23/" which enters this month's 23th day from any num-pad on any keyboard, in any office component, under US locale or any other locale. 23/2 entered this year's 23th of February under a non-US locale. US takes 2/23 as February the 23th. This minimum effort date entry has been given up for some idiots who still can not tell a string from a number. Under a German locale I have to leave the num-pad for the point in order to enter "23.7." instead of "23/". Date input into Writer tables seems to be completely out of control. I apply some date format to the entire column, enter a full ISO date and end up with a text cell. Bye, bye LibreOffice. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibO-3-6-0-2-Calc-date-notation-tp3997118p3997595.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
