Wouldn't it be February first as the default in excel?
Edit: I tested this with excel. I typed “1/2” and it automatically converted it to “02-Jan”
Yes, 1 February It would have been for most.
Now it's just an north american joke -

1/2 = 0.5
Excel counts dates 1 from 01/01/1900. Entering 0.5 and formatting as date and time gives: 00/01/1900 12:00:00 because of course it does. -

wrote on last edited by [email protected]This brings back memories of trying to match locale info from my local computer, a remote server, a MySQL db, and a different Python app in a different server region.
It was for an international email campaign so each users email needed to match their in app locale for number and currency formatting, but there were like a half a dozen different layers of apps and servers that all handled locales differently.
Add in a hard deadline for the client and oof, that was a painful week.
LC_ALL=Cis now cursed knowledge that resides in my brain. I wasn’t able to install Babel or any other libraries because security reasons so I had to handle everything manually. -

This always assumes that whatever's in the glass is desirable. If it's partially filled with piss, the optimist and pessimist roles would be reversed. Although Excel would remain the game.

Weird. When I entered 0.5 as a raw figure it gave me Jan 0, 1900 at 12 pm.
