Date entry

Date entry


I am a new user of Zoho Sheet. I imported an Excel file which has a custom date format (d mmm yy) set for one column. When using Excel on my computer I type 9/4 in a cell in the column to get '9 Apr 08'. If I do this in the Zoho sheet, however, I get '4 Sep 08'. In preferences, the date is set to 'dd/MM/yy'. Is there any way I can get an entry like '9/4' to give me the result I want?
