Dear developers,

this issue slowly drives me crazy.

Unfortunately it is after *much work* that I discover again and again that OOo Calc transforms perfectly valid code string into dates, like in the example below.

These are international lab-codes from the LOINC database, but upon importing Calc decies to transform them into DATES. Manually verifying 54,000 rows for OOo quirks is NOT going to be practical.

I still have some hope that Calc will once and for all remove the automatic date identification.

Sincerely,

Leonard
