Spreadsheet Text Dates Visual

Inputs: [cell values], [locale], [expected date format], [sample formulas]. Distinguish date-looking text from actual spreadsheet date values before sorting or calculating. Preserve ambiguous day/month strings as unresolved; do not bulk-convert without a stated locale and a backup. Produce a side-by-side cell diagram distinguishing displayed text from a numeric date representation. Include one concrete verification step that checks the defining task detail against the supplied inputs. Use [audience] and [tone] to calibrate presentation.

Use the attached references only for the specified visual attributes. If a required reference is missing, request it before generation. Produce one finished image with a deliberate focal point, consistent geometry and clean margins. Keep any exact wording on a separate editable label layer or leave its area blank. Do not invent evidence or present an illustration as documentary proof.
