National standard format is yyyy-mm-dd. [161] dd.mm.yyyy format is used in some places where it is required by EU regulations, for example for best-before dates on food [162] and on driver's licenses. d/m format is used casually, when the year is obvious from the context, and for date ranges, e.g. 28-31/8 for 28–31 August.
In Denmark, the official standard is YYYY-MM-DD ISO 8601 but it is not widely used compared to the traditionally used [1] [2] [3] standard DD.MM.(YY)YY (e.g., 24.12.2006 for Christmas Eve and 1.5.2006 or 01.05.2006 for Labour Day), [3] [4] which is by far the most common system. Dots and hyphens are the most common separators, although using ...
For example, Thanksgiving is defined as being on "the fourth Thursday in November". Some such definitions are more complex. For example, Election Day is defined as "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November" or "the first Tuesday after November 1". [14] Calendars mostly show Sunday as the first day of the week.
For example, {{date|30 February 1712}} results in 1 March 1712 because – even though 30 February 1712 is a valid date in the Swedish calendar – February 1712 had only 29 days in the Gregorian calendar. ten dates are not reformatted. These are 29 February & 1 March of the years 1000, 1100, 1300, 1400, 1500.
For example: 2003-02-28 (28 February 2003) sorts before 2006-03-01 (1 March 2006) which sorts before 2015-01-30 (30 January 2015) The YYYY-MM-DD layout is the only common format that can provide this. [15] Sorting other date representations involves some parsing of the date strings. This also works when a time in 24-hour format is included ...
The YYYY-MM-DD format is the only officially recommended method of writing a numeric date in Canada. [2] The presence of the DD/MM/YY (most of the world) and MM/DD/YY (American) formats often results in misinterpretation. Using these systems, the date 7 January 2016 could be written as either 07/01/16 or 01/07/16, which readers can also ...
In most post-Soviet states DD.MM.YYYY format is used with dots as separators and with leading zeros. Some, such as Lithuania, have adopted the ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format; previously a mixed standard with ISO 8601 order but dots as separators was in use. [3]
The little-endian format (day, month, year; 1 June 2022) is the most popular format worldwide, followed by the big-endian format (year, month, day; 2006 June 1). Dates may be written partly in Roman numerals (i.e. the month) [citation needed] or written out partly or completely in words in the local language.
