AutoCat Categorized Date change

Starting 10/17, my Transactions sheet Categorized Date column (written by AutoCat) looks like this:
2024-10-20T02:36:08-0500

Which is text and Format as Date doesn’t change anything, because it is not recognized as a Date.

Previously, the cell content looked this and is recognized as a Date:
10/16/2024 2:36:13

Anyone else seeing this?

Hi @Mark.S - Yes I see that behavior in my sheet also starting also from 10/17.

I have received confirmation that it’s a bug. I don’t have an ETA for the fix.

And here is a formula that could be used in another column to create the corrected value that could then copy-paste values over the bad one:

=DATEVALUE(MID(Z2, 1, 10)) + TIMEVALUE(MID(Z2, 12, 8))

Where Z2 is the Transactions sheet Categorized Date column.

I see it also, starting 10/17. Is there any harm in leaving it that way? It doesn’t seem to have caused any problems for me.

AFAIK, there isn’t something that depends on it being a real date, but it’s easy enough for me to correct them to the intended date data. I’ll probably wait to correct them myself until after I see the fix go live, and then just do them all at once in batch.
