<pre>Description:
I habitually format date cells as `YYYY-MM""MMM-DDNN` (where the `""` acts as a
separator between `MM` and `MMM`), so today appears as `2021-08Aug-20Fri`
In some files, every time I close and reopen the file the date cell formats
have reverted to `YYYY-MMMMM-DDNN` (where `MMMMM` is expanded to the first
letter of `MMM`), so today appears as `2021-A-20Fri`
The format it saved with also does not appear in the list of formats in the
Format Cells dialog
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Format some dates with `YYYY-MM""MMM-DDNN`
2. Save and close
3. Reopen
For some files it does it every time, for other files it never does it, I have
no idea what the difference is
Actual Results:
All my dates got reformatted
Expected Results:
All my formats should be preserved
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
