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

I use this a lot.
Format the column the way you want it.
Put a date in the first cell
A formula goes in the cell below =A1+1
Fill from that formula down
Copy the the entries
Paste Special with values into the same area.
Works for me

Yup yup, thus why it's a good request. Although - what do you think should
happen if they put "M 1 Aug" or even worse if they put "T 1 Aug" when 1-Aug
is actually a Mondaycould become a bit tricky (as any automagic stuff
tends to become).

Right.
Makes sense: If a column or set of cells was formated as Date, LO knows what
to do with it. But users might start with a full "Mon 1 Aug" and try to get
LO to complete the series automagically.

Funny enough if you remove Monday from the entry and just put Aug 1 and
then Aug 2, things work ;)

To make matters worse - or more interesting, progammatically speaking -, I
could be running the French version of LO and type "Mon" instead of "Lun"
;-)

Ah yes I do see that (Excel has same behavior). I would have quoted "smart"
instead of "that" ;)
But I think that detecting Mon 1 Aug as a date makes sense. I'll file an
enhancement request.
Best,

I simply typed "Mon 1 Aug" and expected LO to figure it out.
But I guess the doco should say that user must first start with a simple
DD/MM/, before telling LO that it's a date, and clicking to get a
series. Computers are not *that* smart ;-)

I'm interested in that observation - might be worth reporting a bug or
enhancement request. You shouldn't have to type exactly the same format (if
you apply the format after you type it in the cells). Can you shoot me an
email privately with a simple attachment with a sample of what did not work
fo
Found it: What you type in the cell must match exactly the format chosen in
the Format Cells dialog, in the Format section.
For instance, if you choose "Fri. 31 Dec. 99", that is exactly what you must
type for LO to figure things out.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks but no go: Even after telling LO that it's a Date, it simply copies
the contents instead of incrementing it:
Right-click > Format Cells > Numbers >
Category = Date
OK
Drag:
Mon 1 Aug
Mon 1 Aug
Mon 1 Aug
Mon 1 Aug
etc.
