This is **not** meant as a fix but a hint about correct usage of dates. It is a
common misuse/misunderstanding of dates being text and not a calc date in the
sense of the OASIS standard, which is a date being (and stored as) an integer
number counting the days since a certain reference day (which in case of calc
is 1899-12-30 as day 0). Your original file contained text and in this case it
will be treated as a **category** labeled with text **looking** like a date,
but it is the same type of category like *red*,*blue*,.... items are to be
categorized.
