Not perfect, but it’s easy to recognise the year in 01/31/32

      At my job I have to use this “SAP” software and I think it’s the worst professional software I’ve ever used. The dates export as three pairs of two digits. No indication of what’s what. The numbers export with commas, so like “1234” comes out in the csv as “1,234”. I hate it. It also mangles some other data so like “0000” turns into “” for some reason.

          It is! I spent a lot of time manually cleaning up the CSV, and there were still problems.

          Apparently there’s some other way to export data that’s not horrible but I’m not authorized to use it for some reason.

          I work at a big company with very weak testing culture.
