------- Additional Comments From sakari.maaranen@ixonos.com  2007-10-30 04:23 -------
POI should check if any date-formatting tokens are used in a custom format or if
the format is some locale-specific (e.g. Finnish dates), or of course any
standard or usual date format.  It doesn't matter which date format is in use as
long as the cell contains a date.  POI should detect all formats that are dates,
custom, localized, standard, everything.

We had this problem in our project (with Finnish dates) and our developers had
to implement a local solution for us.  They did not do it well enough to be
published here, but the principle was that if any date or time formatting tokens
were used, the cell was interpreted as being a date.  Worked well enough for us.

Please fix this asap. Localized and custom dates processing is a very basic
feature that badly needs support from POI!
