I think you have your date format set to d-m-y. When you type Mar-08
Excel says "that looks like a date, in fact it looks like the 8th day
of March. But I'm supposed to display d-m-y, and the current year is
2008", so it displays 8-Mar-08.
In other words, it's the default year of 2008 that you're seeing, not
a default day.
Try entering Mar-09 and you'll see it changes to 9-Mar-08 not 8-Mar-
09.
Does anyone have any suggestions on date?
When I type Mar-08 into any cell, the default day is 8-Mar-08.
Does anyone know why the default day is 8? and how can I change the default
day into 1?
