Thanks for the interest here. But some of you are missing part #2 of my
original post. This involves not dates from 1000 to 1099 but rather possibly
all dates when using Japanese region or Japanese calendar and possibly other
International settings.


Yes, I overlooked that part as well.

The dates were in an Excel spreadsheet entered as: "11/11/2007" and
formatted to display as date "Sunday, November 11, 2007" but instead
displayed "Sunday, November 5, 2007".

It is very possible the mac that generated the problem has an international
version of Leopard installed, but I won't know until Monday. : (



I met this kind of anomaly with Numbers under Tiger as well as under Leopard.


Type thi simple formula:

=EDATE(DATE(1904,1,1), 0.5)

the displaid result is
1 janv. 04 which is not foolish.

From the Inspector of cells, select the format "long date" and the display becomes:
vendredi 1 janvier 1904 00:00:00
which is always OK.


Now, select the same format "long date" from the tool bar, the display becomes:
vendredi 1 janvier 1903 00:00:00
which is a bit odd ;-)


I'm not sure that it is related to the oddity described in this thread.
