Hi :)
If it's spread out into 2 columns (or rows) such that the day-of-the-week
(eg Mon) is in the first cell and then the date part is in the next cell
then both drag down fine.  (I had to set the format of the cell before it
let me show the date in "MMM d" format but that's a side-issue imo).

So there are quite a few different ways of getting variants on the various
pre-programmed auto-complete series.  It's been a good thread imo with a
good variety of answers so i learned quite a bit there.  Thanks folks! :)
Regards from
Tom :)

Actually it is if you add the pattern to Options > Language Settings >

I had previously added D/M/Y and "16/07/2015" (without the quotes) was
perfectly recognized as a date. To keep the formatting you must also adapt
the cell formatting.
