Nope. I have just tried and Excel does not override my input. It may not
interpret it as date unless typed in the way it expects but that's a different
story. Previous versions of Calc didn't do that either: it started swapping
dates with a recent update.

If I have typed AA/BB/CCCC and the input matches both the cell format and the
system format then I probably wanted it to be AA/BB/CCCC and not BB/AA/CCCC.

I guess you are right. I'll find a way to deal with that.
Thank you for your time.
