value of a cell, when the cell is formated as a time (or date-time) returns Greenwich Mean Time instead of the local date displayed in the spreadsheet.

I didn't discover this "feature"; I learned of it from someone else. But is it a bug or is it as designed?

It does mean that when using that time in other applications, such as creating an event in iCal, you have to subtract "time to GMT" from it to get the correct time in the event.


I already reported that to Apple.

When I want to compare a date stored in Numers and an AppleScript's date, I set the value of a cell in a temporary table to (= theAscriptDate) and grab the value of this cell from the table.
Given that I have coherent dates to compare.
An example is available on my idisk:
