Can you change format for dates shown in edit bar

Hello,
I am trying Numbers out as a replacement for Excel. But there is one annoyance that I don't like. I have a date column (formatted as a UK date DD/MM/YY).
However when I select the date to edit it the date shown in the formula/edit bar is shown with the month in character form, e.g. 04 Jul 09.
I find this annoying and I want the date shown there as an all digits date like with the value displayed in the cell.
Does anyone know if I can change this? If so how?
Thank you.

OK.
I didn't understood this way.
You are lucky if it's your unique problem.
Look at what I get here:
Yes, it's my exact birthday but it is displayed a silly way. Isn't it ?
It's awful when I must edit a date.
When I reported that, I was responded that it's the normal behavior.
Happily, it doesn't behave this way under 10.6

  • Where is scroll bar for notes? can you change sorting for notes to A-Z?

    is there a scroll bare for NOTES in icloud? Can you change sorting to A-Z?

    Are you asking about viewing your Notes on https://www.icloud.com/#notes  on a Mac?
    In Safari the scrollbar will appear, when you start to scroll the note list with a trackpad or a mouse.
    In the Notes.app the scroll bar will always be visible, if you enable the scroll bars in System Preferences > General > Show Scroll Bars > Always
    In the Notes-app the list can be sorted by title from the "View > Sort by" menu, but on icloud.com I do not know of a similar option.

  • How can I change format of date in pages?

    Hello,
    can anybody tell me, how I can change the format of date & time in pages? I use pages 5.1 and Mavericks 10.9.2
    Right click isn't working anymore.
    Regards

    Hi
    I just upgraged to Maverick and tne new iWorks suite, with Pages 5.2 
    You have to use the Menu, Insert date and time - which defaults to Full mode. Then double click to change each date and remove the time.   The challenge is that I no longer have an option for US  date formats in Pages, table
    I am stuck with UK format as that is where I am and my system profile is
    Hence, I cannot automatically enter a US date format for my US clients.
    The table cells now default to the new setting.
    This is painful
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Can you change format to widescreen?

    How do you change a video to widescreen format when it's already in iMoveHD?
    Can't find the answer anywhere...
    Thanks

    You can't. But you can export it to a DV stream, using Quicktime with Expert Settings. In the Options dialog, you can choose the aspect ratio, and how to convert it (crop, black borders, or stretch). Then import the clip back into a widescreen project.

  • How can you change the display size on the task bar

    how do you change the display size on the task bar

    If, however, you want to change the size of the display of the menubar, meaning make the icons and text larger, there is no way to do that directly other than to change the resolution of the screen.
    You can change the as-viewed size of that temporarily by using either -
    • Mouse zoom - if you have a Magic Mouse (Apple wireless mouse), hold down the Control key and use the scroll up and scroll down finger gestures on the mouse.
    • Zoom - go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing and turn on Zoom. You can also use the noted keyboard shortcut to enable/disable this Zoom feature.

  • Can you change colours for events to make them darker. I can hardly see them in year veiw.

    How do you make the colours for events in my calendar darker. With the up grade to Yosemite the colours in my year view are so light I can hardly see them.

    i wanted to know the same thing, as wanted to change some of the dates to red, but also because it accidently imported birthdays from address book and all of the birthdays came up in red. so maybe if you want to change one or two dates to red maybe christmas day. you make a contact and set the birthday to 25th December and the date will go red.
    silly but might work.

  • How can you change path for converted PPD files?  Default goes to /var/...

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to the Solaris 10 world and I'm attempting to troubleshoot some Xerox print issues. One of our Oracle Users may send a print job through with an HP Initialization String...yes you read that right, and cause the Printing services to Yo-Yo.
    I've installed the Xerox Printer Administration Tool 4.30.28 and then installed the most current driver package. Thing is, either the services will still bounce or the job will not print. Understandable because of the HP Initialization String.
    However, I tried using the Solaris Print Manager w/ a generic Xerox driver and the Print Services did not bounce. I thought then that I would try using the actual Xerox Workcentre 7655 driver by converting the driver from Xerox and using the PPDMgr tool. Thing is, I could figure out how to really change the path so that the driver would get dropped in the /usr/lib/lp/model/ppd/system/foomatic directory.
    Any way to do this?
    Thank you for your time,
    Mr Mister

    Hello Eric
    I am using the "UserDefinedErrorsDir" in LabVIEW 7.1 /7.1.1 Windows and Linux.
    But there is a "syntax" problem. Let me explain this:
    If you enter
    UserDefinedErrorsDir=C:\
    into your LabVIEW.ini File, LabVIEW will not search the Files in your C:\      Directory...
    LabVIEW search the *-errors.txt Files in the
    C:\errors\
    Directory!
    That mean that you have to create a folder with the name errors in your UserDefinedErrorsDir and after that you only have to copy all your *-errors.txt Files into this folder.

  • [Access 2010] Change default formats for data types

    Whenever I import data, the default format for Boolean data types is "-1,0." I know how to subsequently change this format to "Yes/No," but I'd like to change the default
    setting to "Yes/No." Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I found you post the same question in other place and got the advice. I agree with Mr. Kees suggestion. The data type is a build-in default setting with Access, we can't change it. We may try the workaround via VBA to test.

  • TS4036 Can you change the iCloud backup date to a previous backup date?

    Can you change the iCloud backup date? My iPhones processor went out and erased all of my information and saved that as my last iCloud backup, is there a way to restore my phone for the day before this happened to get all of my information back?

    Long story short, I had to make a clean install of OS X (mountain lion) when I was outside my country, and if I can't show the guy at the customs back home that I purchased the macpro before making the trip, I'll have to pay taxes for it.
    I could have filled the papers for that but I almost miss the plane and there was a long queue.

  • Can I change the count date for a PI Document?

    Dear All,
    By mistake, I entered count date as 30-Sep-2010 instead of 01-Oct-2010 while entering count for a PI document.
    Now, Can I change the count date to 01-Oct-2010 ?
    The issue here is I am not allowed to post the difference today since the count date belongs to the previous period which is 09 2010.
    pls suggest how can I resolve this issue?
    regards,
    Shetty

    Hi Shetty,
    I am assuming your issues is around posting the PI document and the count date  i.e.Posting period is in last month and hence you are stuck.
    If your client is ok to perform posting in previous period then try MMRV and allow posting in previous period and complete the Inventory counting posting and adjustment (write off differences and revert back the settings)
    Other option would be to  used above suggestion post PI doc without difference. Then create new PI document with correct count date.
    Hope this helps.
    Thx
    MJ

    Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?
    Mostly it's to call in for radio contests. The Iphone is really good at making a quick call, but it seems to timeout after 15-20 rings. I realise this is a small thing, but free tickets is free tickets.
    Most commenst I see is abotu incoling calls, not outging.
    Thanks.

    No. You can't do this with any phone.

  • How can you change data on a SQL 2012 application database that uses availability groups from BizTalk server?

    If you use the WCF-SQL adapter it is recommend that you set UseAmbientTransaction to true if you are changing data. I think this requires MSDTC to be enabled on the SQL server that you are changing the data on. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd787981.aspx)
    I think that Availability groups does not support MSDTC. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366279.aspx).
