Hi

If you enter the dates as Text, rather than Excel dates you can do this.
Prefix you entry with a single quote to force it to be text
'30-feb-1999

Filling in correct dates is as simple as filling in the first few and then
edit-fill -series. Where you will hit a brick wall is 30/feb/any year because
there never is one. The only thing you could do is format the cell for this
date as text and then manually enter the date. This will display 30/2 but
you won't be able to perform date arithmatic on it.
