Description: I set up a spreadsheet in Excel years ago in which I track certain dates, then I add 7 to figure out the date a week later. For most dates, this gives me a date. But for some, I get a ### answer. For example, I have 11/2/2016 in cell F164. The formula =F164+7 yields 11/9/2017. Cell F165 contains 11/21/2016; the formual =F165+7 yields ### . Same with 11/04/17; 12/8/2016; 11/20/2015; 10/3/2014. But with 10/30/2014, I get the correct answer (11/6/2014). It seems to only occur with two digits months, though not for all dates in those three months. I have tried copying dates - and the results are the same. I.e., copying the 11/21/2016 date into F164 yields ### in the cell with the formula. This does *not* happen when I open a new spreadsheet and enter the two dates above! So this must be an Excel conversion issue... Also, if I copy the set of cells, the issue goes away. However, copying everything on the sheet reproduces the issue. Workaround: Select a bunch of cells; select Format > Clear Direct Formatting. The reformat with dates format. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Other than selecting the whole sheet and copy & pasting it, I was unable to reproduce it. 2. 3. Actual Results: 11/2/2016 11/9/2016 11/21/2016 ### Expected Results: 11/2/2016 11/9/2016 11/21/2016 11/28/2016 Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 5.4.2.2 Build ID: 22b09f6418e8c2d508a9eaf86b2399209b0990f4 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.13.1; UI render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0

Hi Your column is not with enough, that's why you receive a ### answer. Double click on the column separator. This is not a bug and can be closed
Omg! That's embarrassing! I tried everything - except making the column bigger... I apologize for this false bug report!
