------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 30 06:54:11 -0700 2006 ------- Given is a excel file with some date / time values. Values have the systems default formatting (long date, short date, time). Calc fails to import this "system default" but uses the (us-english) fallback instead. You can use http://de.openoffice.org/source/browse/*checkout*/de/qa/testfiles/calc/calc-1-109242.xls as example (see table "Datums- und ZEitformate") The cause is, that Excel uses an (undocumented) escape sequence for "system default". This is [$-F800] for date, long system default [$-F400] for time, system default seems like some sort of bitvector, but I could not find a documentation. This does not only affect binary filters but Office 2003 XML and Office Open XML as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
