Date bug in Numbers

Posted:
in Mac Software edited January 2014
When entering 14/08/06 into cell it is formated to 14 August 0006 (uk date format) instead of 14 August 2006.



When I do the same in excel it correctly works out as 14 August 2006.



I suppose it isn't strictly a bug but could cause confusion if using the DATEDIF function like I did. I couldn't understand why it was showing 730,852 days!!! difference between now and last year.







Anybody found any other bugs.

    I already have a thread here about time arithmetic not working properly. Not a single response to it though.



    Cheers
