Wanna good laugh? Fire up Microcrap Excel. Open a blank workbook and format a cell as "Date." (Accept the default display format.) Now in that same cell enter "60." What do you see? Answer: “February 29, 1900” (or whatever display format you have chosen). The problem is that Feb 29, 1900 does not exist! The year 1900 is not a leap year! I'm seeing this right in front of me right now and I am using the very latest version of Microcrap Excel. OMFG! What junk! I thank John Walker for this: https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/ -- Hail Linux! Hail FOSS! Hail Stallman!

When you apply the "Date" format, the result is 2/28/00; or choose the full date format to see the 1900. -- Everything bows to success, even grammar.

(Don't ask why.) But for Microslop Excel, the correct date should be March 1, 1900 because the Excel epoch, or Day 1, is January 1, 1900. Another superiority of LO Calc is that it handles dates before the epoch (negative times) all the way back to the year 1582. Microslop Excel cannot display dates before its epoch. Total junk! But the Excel epoch can be changed to 1904 and then can use negative time, but then this will fuck up a lot of other spreadsheets. For dates M$ Excel is a total mess. -- Hail Linux! Hail FOSS!

Looking into the Excel bug, it actually appears to be more than merely that 2/29/1900 doesn't exist: Using a value of 1 ... it reports as being 1/1/1900. Good enough, but it also reports that that was a Sunday. But calendars report that 1/1/1900 was actually a Monday Values 2 thru 59: same as above: the day of the week is off by one. 60: the Wednesday, 2/29/1900 error 61 & higher: Thursday 3/1/1900 .. so the day of week is now correct. -hh

As is usually the case, one doesn't have to look very far. If you have a copy of PC Excel, fire it up, format a cell as containing a date, and type 60 into it: out pops “February 29, 1900”. "By the time the 1900 blunder was discovered, Excel users had created millions of spreadsheets containing incorrect day numbers, so Microsoft decided to leave the error in place rather than force users to convert their spreadsheets, and the error remains to this day." It's fucking unbelievable! To save millions of dummy spreadsheets Microslop decided to fudge the dates for all users. Incredible! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

As usual, Farley Fucktard is behind the times. This is a known issue AND it was designed this way for a reason AND changing it now would break many things. <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/excel/wrongly-assumes-1900-is-leap-year> Maybe if you read and learn FIRST, you would stop making a fool of yourself. But then, if you stopped making such a fucking fool of yourself, we would have no one here to make fun of.

Hard to believe it’s come to the point where the Microsoft marketing machine has persuaded people that the ones pointing out the bug are the “fools”, rather than the ones who were stupid enough to make it in the first place.

Hard to believe you're too ignorant to understand why MS made the decision to treat 1900 as a leap year.

It was designed that way to be compatible with Lotus 1,2,3. Multiplan (and later Excel) HAD to be 100% compatible with that. This issue probably goes all the way back to the first spreadsheet, VisiCalc in 1979 on the Apple II. Lotus 1,2,3 was the IBM PC version of Visicalc in 1983. The only fool here is Farley, thinking he has "discovered" something. As usual, he is a clueless child who has probably never heard of Lotus 1,2,3 or VisiCalc. BTW, since LO does not follow this standard (as weird as it is), this is probably yet another reason why businesses don't use it.

Imagine that: Businesses use a product that gives them the results they are looking for, without changing their existing code. Like it or not, that's how businesses work. No one is interested in a "better" product - even when it is "free" - if they have to waste time changing code that has been working for decades. Successful businesses realize what is best for the business TODAY. Very few businesses need to worry about dates 125 years ago. And if they do, they would have coded around this issue 40 years ago in Lotus 1-2-3. Which still works TODAY in Excel. Going forward - which is what everyone does - the dates are correct. And that is all that matters.

Either the quality of the employee’s work is important to their employer’s success, or it is not. If it is, then anything that helps the quality of that work is a boon. If it is not, then they are deadweight and might as well be jettisoned.

I would rather use LO, but for many reasons beyond how 1900 is treated. -- Joel W. Crump Amendment XIV Section 1.

Of course, in real life nobody need to care about it. The historians may need to use dates in 1900's without having difficulties around that. For the astronomers and economists, I'd like to know how they would have wrong results. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

Read John Walker's link to discover the REAL cause for failure. John Walker, by the way, was the founder and CEO of AutoDesk, which is the global standard for CAD software. What has Tyrone accomplished? Maybe bending over to suck his own cock? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Nope. There is no defense. Microslop Excel is FUBAR. It's only because none of its idiot adherents, like Tyrone, have a use for dates before 1901. But any competent software makes no assumptions about user preference. The only concern is to do it properly whatever the scenario. Microslop fails in this regard and there is no way to conceal the fact. No fucking way. Now cue the shills for more futile apologies. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I hope Tyrone will post an image of himself sucking his own cock. That's quite an accomplishment.
