I am struggling with this bug as well. Base shouldn't send everything to calc
as text and let calc try to decide for itself what each field is (date, time,
text or float). Base already has this information, there is no need to try to
redetect it, and it's even worse if calc does it wrong because it makes too
much assumptions to "make your life easier"... The cause seems to be the same
that causes this bug I reported myself:

I can assure you that more than 2 people care about this kind of bug, everybody
here at my company (an engineering company that uses libreoffice and therefore
increases the software's market-share) is losing hair over this.
