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 <pie...@pietvanoostrum.com> wrote: > Andreas Säger wrote: > > > Problem is that too many spreadsheet users do not know what a > > spreadsheet date/time is and how it differs from a text such as > > "16/07/2015" which is not a date by any means. > > Actually it is if you add the pattern to Options > Language Settings > > Languages > Date Acceptance Patterns. > I had previously added D/M/Y and "16/07/2015" (without the quotes) was > perfectly recognized as a date.
