Excel data changing format upon upload
- Anonymous5 years ago
Looking at your code, I see that your Excel Import includes Kind = Sheet. If you have this in Table format in Excel, then you can change that code to Item = "Table Name", Kind = Table]. If your data is not in table format in excel, then you can turn it into a table by selecting the excel table and pressing CTRL+T. If the info is in this current workbook, then Get data from Table/Range will do this automatically. Honestly, though, I never considered whether or not coulmn names respect date formats or data types.
Wait though, can[t you make these columns type text, and then promote headers? Once you do that, and then promote headers, you cna always go back and change the type.

Have you tried to change the columns to type date before promoting headers? Also, the fact that you seem to have no value in the first row and first column of the source file might be a problem. Have you made this data a proper table object in Excel?
