I have column A with date "dd/mm/yy" in a CSV file, and I need to write it to excel column A with dateformat "dd-mm-yy", is there any action can be performed?

    I’m going to give you the logic, you will have to automate it. Best of luck!

     

    Open the csv in excel

    Column A should default to date

    Write a formula in a blank column, row 2 (assuming you have a title row)

        =text(A2,”dd-mm-yy”)

    copy the formula down

    now you can copy this column and should be able to paste it into column A

     

    if that doesn’t work for whatever reason:

     

    open the csv in excel

    select column A

    format cells: custom

    dd-MM-yyyy

     

    good luck!
