I had problems with the fuzzy dates on my server. They read like: "undefined minutes ago".



After some debugging it seems that the @Text() formula cant handle the conversion to text from the numbers. My theaory about this is that there is some problem with the Swedish decimal comma and not the more international decimal full stop.



By removing the @Text formulas and rely on the javascript conversion it works. Code like:
