Proton Sheets - Additional Date Formats
Currently it appears the only possible Date format for Date types in Proton Sheets is mm/dd/yyyy, which is US centric.
Would appreciate additionally including other date arrangements, perhaps:
dd/mm/yyyy (Common globally)
dd/mm/yy
yyyy/mm/dd (ISO 8601)
dd/mmm/yyyy
Would suggest dd/mm/yyyy given that it's arguably the most common format globally and yyyy-mm-dd given that it's the ISO 8601 international standard used heavily in software around the world should be priorities đź‘Ť

yeah. at least ISO-standard date formats should be supported.

I am flabbergasted Proton Sheets launched without such a basic and essential feature... and then even defaults to the US date format even though being an european service. Since Proton Docs was released, I was hoping for a Proton Sheets so I could finally leave Google Docs behind. When that finally happened, I was over the moon... but in its current state, it is simply not able to compete with or be a replacement for Google Docs Sheets. :-(
Hopefully the date and time format gets as customizable as it is with Google Docs. That would be a great step forward.

DD/MM/YYYY is my favorite, and it is not easy to convert with formulae.

Agreed that we should be able to specify this manually, but Sheets should pick up the default from the browser environment like any other application.

There should be an option to provide a date format.
I need YYYY-MM-DD, which is easy to enter myself if given the option.

When importing an existent spreadsheet that I created with Google Drive, I was able to use cells with DD/MM/YYYY. It was recognized as a date field. But indeed it is necessary to have more formats.

đź’Ż I imagine date formatting will quickly become an issue for this global audience.

And dd.mm.yyyy (used for example in the Czech Republic) would be great.
