fields formated as 3-8-18 autoformatting to date on when exported
have fields in third party program which when exported to Excel are
autoformatted to date. Ex: 3-8-18 autmatically becomes 3/18/2018. How do I disable this? Can only export to Excel - program creates new workbook. |

Not knowing your exact procedure it's hard to be specific, but somehow in the
process try to format that column as TEXT, or append a leading apostrophe to the strings to make Excel see them as text. hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Angel" wrote: have fields in third party program which when exported to Excel are autoformatted to date.

Format the colmun you exporting into as 'text' then try going 'data'...'text
to columns'...click next, then next again. You will then see a drop down menu in the column data format area that contains date formats, select y/m/d and it should display as you wish.
