dates when importing data from a .csv file
Hi
When I import data from a .csv file the dates get all muddled ... for example: 2019/12/04 (yyyy/mm/dd) becomes 2004/12/19 .. is there some formula I can create in a column to rectify this?
If I import from a .xlsx file there are no problems.
thanks
Marc
Hi MarcUrdang
Add a column below:
Text.Combine({"20" & Text.End([Date], 2), Text.BetweenDelimiters([Date], "/", "/"), Text.End(Text.Start([Date], 4), 2)}, "/")Best Regards
