Excel

Converting columns

If you load a CSV sheet and they are showing data (columns/rows) wrong use the Data > From Text (Import function).

A common example is when fractions get converted to dates.

- Click Next
- Untick Tab
- Tick Comma
- Select the Column you want
- Select the Text radio button instead of the General radio button
- Next/Finish
- Next/Finish

Another common example is when dates get converted to numbers. In this case:

- Select the whole Column
- Right click and select Format Cells
- Select the Number tab
- Select the Category: Number
- Then Select Custom
- Enter the Date you want e.g. dd/mm/yyyy hh:ss:mm dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
- Next/Finish
- Next/Finish
