Quick answer
Inspect the spreadsheet's locale before importing or re-entering ambiguous data. Locale settings influence how the sheet interprets and displays certain values.
Understand the issue
Keep the original import as a reference. A date such as 03/04 is ambiguous without a known convention, so compare a date whose day is above twelve. Do not assume a display-format change corrects a value already interpreted incorrectly.
Step-by-step checks
- Check File and Settings for the sheet's locale.
- Test a few known dates and amounts in a spare area.
- Correct import or entry assumptions and verify the underlying values.
