Anyone saying this extension does anything other than exactly what it is supposed to is just not educated. For me, the whole application would be useless without this extension. Fixes every 'exported' .csv perfectly. The author is a scholar and a gentleman/woman. Should be official, I plan to 'buy the author a coffee'.

It was a pretty good extension (5 stars) but it can already not be able to install for years, that is why it is 1 star, but zero would be more precise.
This feature should be part of the official LibreOffice application.
This extension already has not been updated for 4 years. Thus it is not compatible with the LibreOffice. I get the following error message when I want to install the v1.5

What it does it does competently.
Is there any possibility it might convert a text structure like this "2021-12-04 6:16:34 AM" to this 2021-12-04 06:16:34 - which is the format for an =NOW()expression

Most useful if you run into "my numbers and dates are just text" problems.

A very useful extension indeed, when it works, which is most of the time. I haven't quite figured why it sometimes informs that 'nothing to convert' when there clearly is a lot to convert. Probably something I'm missing to do with prior formatting.
I find this extension most useful.
