That's true and acknowledged.  What we don't know is whether the correct 
answer to the question asked is the answer to the underlying problem or 
not; insufficient data to tell.

What the answer is is what Excel thinks the data are and how will be 
exported; what we don't know is whether that is the same as what the 
foreign system thinks they are for the two cases--my gut feeling is 
"there be dragons!" but don't know for sure.
