    Correct, but my locale is Dutch so it’s spelled correctly. Changing the language doesn’t matter for this exercise

      Ironically AI would probably work ok here whereas excel is using a human-designed pattern matching heuristic that apparently either has a bug or didn’t take into account your locale properly. I say that as someone with a relatively negative opinion of ai

      This is a task ai would do well at whereas most of the Excel workflow it would not.

        The language used doesn’t matter and it’s not a bug. I can’t be arsed to set my whole office suite to English but this is what Excel does, no matter what language you’re using. So if I used English month abbreviations, the same thing would still happen.
