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 :) On 16 July 2015 at 20:44, Piet van Oostrum <piet-l@pietvanoostrum.com> wrote:

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. -- Piet van Oostrum <piet@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org 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
