Hey Belle! Figured it was about time I got my butt over here ahahaha...

So... the answer is kind of. I can definitely change the dates to that format for sure, just to make it easier to scan, BUT. The way this spreadsheet is set up, you can't reorder the page to organize by date without messing up the other information. HOWEVER, to fix that, I've put the same info (minus a few things) into separate sheets on the same document. Here's what the doc includes now:

BY ACTOR-- this one is what Max posted here earlier. It lists every cast member includnig swings, the date they started, the date the left, why they left, including any changes in role.

BY CHARACTER-- more or less the same information, but it A) excludes swings, and B) allows you to scan easily for the character you're interested in, see all the people who have played them, and what dates. The date format is a little messy there, so I'm working on it, but that's the idea.

BY DATE-- this one is probably my favorite layout. On the left, you can see the characters, & along the top, organized by month. You can quickly see who played what role in any month, & if there was a cast change (or three!) within the same month, it shows what day the original actor left, & which day the new actor started.

So.... I'll leave all three sheets in there, and update them all as things happen. Different people may be interested in looking at it in different ways. If you have abny suggestions or other ways to format the info, let me know and I can try to add it!!
