Importing Dates from Excel into Smartsheet

Gopikrishna Mamidipudi

I'm creating a new Smartsheet Grid by importing from an Excel. 3 of the columns in my Excel are formatted as Dates in Excel. However, when the Grid gets created, these 3 columns show up as "Text/Number" fields. Is there any way to get around this?

Hi @Gopikrishna Mamidipudi

I hope you're well and safe!

Do you have any data in the columns? If not, add some dates.

Did that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
