Hello:

My wife and I have been trying out Microsoft Office alternatives on our
Linux Mint systems here at home for the last several months, and we were
trying to utilize LibreOffice for our needs.

For the most part, compatibility wasn't so much of an issue until we tried
using a Microsoft Excel calendar file in Calc and are having several issues
with regard to formatting.

Here is a screenshot of the original Excel file that we are trying to work
with, taken from a Windows machine running Excel:

This is an .xlsx file, and how it should appear and function in LibreOffice
Calc.  However, here is a screenshot of how it appears in Calc:

Issues include: 1) The word "Shabbat" appears instead of "Saturday"; 2)
Instead of the numbered days on the calendar, we receive an "#N/A" on the
calendar;
3) Alignment of each person's (initials) hours is all over the place; 4)
Why is there a dotted line between Friday and "Shabbat" indicated?

Any guidance that you could offer in terms of proper formatting in Calc
would be greatly appreciated.  I will include a link to download the
original .xlsx file for inspection if it will help:

Thanks for your help!
