The problem is not the format. I can change that. The problem is the numbers that are entered are not the numbers I type in. 5/18 is appearing as 5/16.

Just a quick example.  On a spreadsheet I entered todays date - 5/18 - it 
insisted on entering 5/16. Now I can see where it might enter a different date 
format (05/18/16) but to arbitrarily enter a different date is beyond me.
for the cell in question, check out format - cell - numbers and see what is 
specified for date.  What you see is one of the legitimate options - mm/yy
