1. Choose a date cell Type: 20/8 (omitting the year) Press Enter Check result 2. Now type: 8/20 (omitting the year) Press Enter Check result Expected result: In both cases, should take the value 2013/08/20, i.e. 20th of august of 2013, defaulting to the current year (we are in 2013 at the time of reporting this bug). Observed result: In case 1 it takes the value 14th of august of 2014, i.e. next year. Nonsense. In case 2 it behaves as expected, taking 2013 as the default year
I meant it takes the value 20 of august, not 14 of august. AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH when will this shit allow us to edit our reports?!?!?!?! I hate it!
Hi Matteo, I cannot reproduce this problem on OS X 10.8.4, LO 4.1.1.1. What date format are you setting the cell to? I've set a cell to http://cl.ly/image/0n1G2L31173i and then entered 1. and 2. from your description. All I see is exactly what I entered. But maybe I'm missing something? Could you provide more detailed steps on how to reproduce please?
The cell format is set as date 31/12/1999 But I can reproduce the issue also with format 31/12/99 What do you mean by "I see exactly what I entered"? Did you omit the year? If so, if you are seeing is exactly what you have entered you are experiencing a different bug, as you would be seeing a date without year.
Note that the way the date is interpreted when you enter it, is independend from the format of the cell - that is a separate bug, which I have already reported: that is, input should be interpreted according to the cell format but it always interpreted as m/d/a unless the numbers are outside sensible ranges; that's why I test this issue with values such as 20/8 to avoid extra noise
Actually, this issue only happens when the number of day is >12 That is: -Enter 3/4 => get 4th of march 2013, as "expected" (given bug 51697) -Enter 4/3 => get 3rd of april 2013 as "expected" (given bug 51697) - Enter 8/20 => get 20 of august of 2013 as expected (only reasonable outcome) - Enter 20/8 => get 20 of august of 2014 *nonsense
Hi Matteo, enter dates is more restrictive in the last version. Please verify you options in: Menu/Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languages, there is an option for Date acceptance pattern. In any case are needed your settings there to try in reproduce you issue.

Let me know what files I can look for and upload so that you can examine all my current settings and investigate the issue. What is sure is that I observe the behavior i have described and, whatever the settings are, that behavior is wrong. Or, if it is the expected behavior under certain settings, then those settings are wrong and they are the default, since I haven't touched them.
Did it happen with a file from scratch? In this case what are the options in?: Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice Calc/Calculate - Date. Menu/Tools/Options/Language settings/Language - Locale setting.

Both from scratch and with existing files. See the settings in the screenshots. I enter "20/8" and it is interpreted as "20 aug. 2014". By the way, what are the three options under "Date" in the "Calculate" settings supposed to mean?!?! They should be more clear. Choosing between "12/30/1989" and "01/01/1900" and "01/01/1904" means absolutely nothing to me. I guess the programmer who wrote the application can understand it.
With the locale English-US like your. When I enter 20/8 is entered as text not as date. When I enter 8/20 is correctly interpreted as 08/20/13 I you enter TODAY() in a blank cell, what date do you see?
Sorry Matteo, the practice is someone else change the status to NEW when confirm the bug, and for now it is not the case. Have you try resetting the user profile?, sometimes solve strange issues. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile Or try upload to 4.0.5.2 http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ A couple of link to learn more about how dates are handle in spreadsheets: https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Date_and_Time_Functions http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datetime.htm
(In reply to comment #12) > With the locale English-US like your. > When I enter 20/8 is entered as text not as date. > When I enter 8/20 is correctly interpreted as 08/20/13 Me too, on a fresh virgin cell. But if I previously format the cell as a date (no matter what specific date format) then I experience the behavior I described. Did you format the cell as date???? > I you enter TODAY() in a blank cell, what date do you see? I see "TODAY()", but I guess you mean if I write =TODAY(), in which case I see 09/19/13 I'm eager to learn a lot about how dates are handled, but there is a bug here, because interpreting 8/20 as augusth 8th 2013 and 20/8 as august 8th 2014 doesn't make any sense under any kind of settings.
