--- Comment #9 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
The data in the attached document are not dates, they are arbitrary text
strings that resemble a YYYY-MM notation, but that has no effect on
interpreting those text strings when pulling them down. Incrementing any
foobar-number string increments the number. The cell content *is not* a date (a
date would be one specific day of a specific month in a specific year), no
matter what number format you apply. Even if you argue with ISO 8601 it would
not be a date because any YYYY-MM would not be a date but a date range of the
first to last day of the month.

If you want your values be treated as dates then enter 2019-10-01 and
2019-11-01 and formatting them with YYYY-MM will display 2019-10 and 2019-11
and pulling those two dates down will recognize the one month difference and
produce 2019-12-01 and 2020-01-01.
