Formatting datetime problems importing data from mysql db
Hi
I have a mysql db. There is a timestamp in the data formatted like this. Time Date 11:44:26 22-02-2006 13:56:55 22-02-2006 14:09:35 22-02-2006 14:20:37 22-02-2006 I use ms query to create a query via an odbc connection to the db. When the datatime is returned it look like this whatever how the cells in excel are formatted Time Date 00:00:00 17-01-2006 00:00:00 17-01-2006 00:00:00 17-01-2006 00:00:00 17-01-2006 00:00:00 17-01-2006 What is the problem and how can it be solved?

Formatting datetime problems importing data from mysql db
if it looks the same no matter what format you have it is coming in as text .
I think the problem is either in your query or data base. "PEA" wrote: Hi I have a mysql db. There is a timestamp in the data formatted like this.
