Strange date format when reading excel using SQL in PAD

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

I migrated SQL to excel file using PAD.

 

However, the original date format is like :

yscx523194_0-1648024284544.png

 

On the other hands, when I read it using SQL query, the output results in as:

 

yscx523194_1-1648024316446.png

The query I wrote is

 

SELECT *

FROM "Sheet_Name"
WHERE "Column_Name"
in (%Date1%, %Date2%, %Date3%, %Date4%, %Date5%, %Date6%, %Date7%)

 

Does anyone know what causes the date format looking strange?

 

Thanks in advance!

    While firing the query you can use the CONVERT function of SQL and convert the date to the desired format before bringing it into Excel.

    I think the latest function is FORMAT (instead of CONVERT).
