      I hate Microsoft and Excel but that date thing is exactly the kind of stuff that AI would be great at.

      Just not the kind of AI Microsoft probably plans to put in Excel 🤷

        Not necessarily. It would do better than current excel, but that’s a low bar… but it would also introduce less reliability / more randomness in date conversions, which is not what any business wants.

        Most of excels quirks have not been fixed because a ton of business processes have been built upon those quirks. AI can’t fix that.
