Here's a good one. I was a spreadsheet jockey a long time ago. I am an IT Consultant now - mostly doing server & network management. This one has me puzzled.
A client contacted me and said he got a (2007) spreadsheet somewhere and just wanted to copy 2 columns from it to a new spreadsheet. One of the columns had dates in it. When he copied the dates from the source spreadsheet to the target spreadsheet - all the dates changed by a time factor of 4 years and 1 day! I asked him to send me the spreadsheet and when I followed his steps - and copied several dates from the source spreadsheet to a new spreadsheet that I had created - the exact same thing happened - the dates all moved 4 years and 1 day earlier. I would sure appreciate your help explaining this if you can. The dates are entered as values and there are no funky formats being used. Thanks. Regards, Allen
