Created attachment 171878 [details]
Example file from Excel

This is similar to bug #133672 but with Excel default time formats instead of dates.
Attached example file contains all default time formatting options applied on cells in a Hungarian Excel 2019.
Calc does not have the same set of defaults, so there are some conversion differences, especially with the locale-dependent format in A2.
Also the AM/PM translation does not match either.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached file in Calc

Actual results:
First item is padded to two digits.
Items with AM/PM are uppoercase instead of lowercase.
This may cause differences in display and autofilter results.

Expected results:
Ideally same display of time as Excel.

Code pointer I suppose:
i18npool/source/localedata/data/hu_HU.xml
50     <TimeAM>DE</TimeAM>
51     <TimePM>DU</TimePM>

282     <FormatElement msgid="TimeFormatskey2" default="true" type="medium" usage="TIME" formatindex="40">
283       <FormatCode>HH:MM:SS</FormatCode>
284     </FormatElement>

But I don't know if it can be changed only for xlsx/xls. Indeed, I can understand Excel can be seen as the reference for xlsx or xls but not for the other like ods files unless ods should also display the same?

@Eike, I thought you might be interested in this issue
Comment 6 Eike Rathke 2021-05-31 21:27:40 UTC
We can easily change the AM/PM representation from "DE" to "de." and "DU" to "du."

If the default time formats are to be expected as not displaying leading 0 we can of course also change those to H:MM and H:MM:SS

For both, AM/PM and time formats, the current definitions are from 2005 and thus probably never had a review or were corrected, if they should have been.

Of course, changing them will affect all documents, not just .xls/.xlxs, unless formats are explicitly assigned differently.

Note that the first time format in the attached .xlsx is stored as

    <numFmt numFmtId="165" formatCode="[$-F400]h:mm:ss\ AM/PM"/>

with the [$-F400] meaning display in whatever system default time format you have.

There were no objections so I went ahead with
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/116713
cast your veto there ;)

It was unclear to me whether the default date+time format should also be changed to display no leading 0, so from
YY-MM-DD HH:MM
to
YY-MM-DD H:MM
That can be added if wanted.

No responses or objections => I'll merge that change as is.
