Entering Dates
With practice, you may find it faster to enter dates by hand rather than using the
icon. You can enter dates in virtually any format:
- 1/4/05 8:00
- 13dec1971
- 19711213
- December 13, 1971 17:45
- 7/15 20:45
- x ("today")
- xx ("yesterday")
- today 11:30
- x 9:23
- yesterday
- 042330Z ("The 4th of the current month at 23:30Z")
If you omit the year, the current year will be used.
