Top level comment for those who think it's a typo. Notice how it auto-fills after the first character.

Also, this hardly has to do with AI, this is just Excel being Excel. But hey, memes are supposed to be funny, not accurate.

It's actually because January is also misspelled. Or possibly because Excel's language/region isn't set up right (I see your month abbreviations aren't us-eng... If excel is in us-eng it likely isn't going to identify them properly.

Correct, but my locale is Dutch so it's spelled correctly. Changing the language doesn't matter for this exercise

Ironically AI would probably work ok here whereas excel is using a human-designed pattern matching heuristic that apparently either has a bug or didn't take into account your locale properly. I say that as someone with a relatively negative opinion of ai

This is a task ai would do well at whereas most of the Excel workflow it would not.

The language used doesn't matter and it's not a bug. I can't be arsed to set my whole office suite to English but this is what Excel does, no matter what language you're using. So if I used English month abbreviations, the same thing would still happen.

Have you tried using a US English locale? Most AI models are trained mostly in English, so not sure if your locale being Dutch is affecting that.
