import csv without automatic date conversion
When I import a csv file with fields in the format "n/n" where n is any
integer, Excel automatically converts that field into a date, i.e. "Jan-01." How do I stop Excel from doing the automatic conversion? I want to keep the data in its original format. I'm using Excel 2000 9.0.3821. Thanks. |
You need to rename the file to txt then use the text import wizard and import
the n/n/ as text in step 3 Regards, Peo Sjoblom "shinta" wrote: When I import a csv file with fields in the format "n/n" where n is any integer, Excel automatically converts that field into a date, i.e. "Jan-01."
