You can enter dates and times in one of three ways:
25.12.1973
or
25.12.73
or the time in the form 23:59:59
;You can specify whether you want to use English-style dates, American-style dates or textual dates.
1. Bring up the Options dialogue box.
2. Position the pointer on the Date format line and click Select on American for American-style dates, English for English-style dates or Text for textual dates (the default).
3. Type the date into a number cell as day.month.year
for
English-style dates or month.day.year
for American-style dates.
The text @-field @D@
inserts the
current date into a text cell in the format selected in the Options dialogue box.
You can test whether two cells contain the same date with a statement such as:
IF(B1=A1,...)
You can tell whether one date is later than another with a statement such as:
