Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in SandDance with a column containing dates, times, or datetimes and compare the displayed values with the source data. Trace the visualization path that handles date columns and determine whether the values are interpreted as dates or epoch numbers. Done means date-valued columns produce an understandable time-series representation.
