My colleagues are really good in triggering the weirdest behaviours from Microsoft Excel (strange bugs and crashes). One colleague had a pretty interesting problem. Excel would change numbers automatically to dates. E.g. if you do a “Show Formulas” in a pivot table, the order of the formulas usually shows numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4. In her case, it showed this as dates. Same when recognizing numbers coming from a database, in charts, etc. You could manually override this by changing the cell formatting, but these would reset every time you refreshed the pivot tables / charts. This is not a simple case of someone picking the wrong cell format or that the dates are shown as numbers. When searching for a solution I saw that some people had the same, but never a solution. In any case, the way to “solve” this is going into Cell Formatting, then Custom. Now remove all of the custom cell formats. It won’t fix the existing formatting, but at least it makes the behaviour stop.
I keep going back and forth on this, but the truth is i don’t have time for hamster anymore. So i’m looking for a new maintainer. First of all – don’t panic – the project is not going to die – as i’m using hamster on daily basis myself (and it does everything i need), i will keep making sure it works at least on Fedora (my distro of choice), but i need someone taking care of pull requests and making sure hamster stays on focus and doesn’t gain weight via preferences (i’ve seen oh so many requests for that lately and majority fall far outside the 80/20 rule; it is however compelling to please everyone, and that’s what i’m afraid my replacement would try to do) Ideally the candidate would have something to show that he and she have created, because if there is anything that i fear more than extinction is the project falling into somebody’s hands who will botch it up I’ve disabled comments. If you are interested, please contact me at toms.baugis@gmail.com Also, code: https://github.com/projecthamster/
