Duplicate. Why do you submit a new Issue if you could just reopen the old one and set the Flags for enhancement requests ? Frank *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 17144 *** closed double My apologies. I was unaware I had the right to do that. |
In Cell Formats, versions 643c, 1.0.1, 1.0.3.1 and 1.1beta2 had "1999" ("YYYY") formatting for an option. We have added a "1" (week of the year) and removed "1999" (year). In other words 1.1RC1 removed a commonly used date format and replaced it with a very infrequently used date format. I propose one of two (or both) solutions: (1) that the "1999" be added back. I know I can add the format to a spreadsheet, but it has to be done every time and needs to be standard. (2) allow adding a custom format and have it saved as a permanent format by the user (when the user needs custom formats). The user who uses a custom format for one spreadsheet likely wants it for more than one and shouldn't have to keep adding it, so "saving" it, "editing" it or "deleting" it should be options available to the user along with the present "for this spreadsheet only" current non-option.
