            Bug ID: 55295
           Summary: DateUtil.isCellDateFormatted should probably handle
                    data format "reserved-0x1c"
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.9
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

I have an Excel file with dates in them. The internal numeric value can be
retrieved correctly, but DateUtil.isCellDateFormatted does not recognize it as
a date format.

Debugging, it fails at

public static boolean isADateFormat(int formatIndex, String formatString) {

where formatString is "reserved-0x1c"

I could find no good documentation on that format string (and unfortunately
cannot share the file in question), but it seems to be a date format used by
Chinese versions of Excel.

LibreOffice correctly shows it as a date (but OS X Preview does not -- shows up
as a number).
