Time format data change after uploading data to smartsheet from excel via Data Shuttle.

Pradip Chavda

I am using data shuttle to upload data from local .xlsx file.

Below is the data available in .xlsx file in "hh:mm" format.

After uploading data to smartsheet by data shuttle, The value is changed and showing in below format.

.xlsx file is generating from system automatically so i can not change or add any filled in .xlsx file.

So, without doing any change in .xlsx file how can i populate same type of data in smartsheet.

Thank you in advance for your valuable time.

Regards,

Double check the column type in your Smartsheet is set as a text/number type column and not a date type column.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your response. I checked column type. It is text/number.

I changed column type from Auto to number in data shuttle workflow during in mapping.

Now result is coming as below. I tried to change to text but the result is same as earlier.

It will be better if you can help me out.

Thank you Paul for your time.

Regards,

@Pradip Chavda Since Smartsheet isn't really set up to take in times (unless you're using the TIME() function), I would recommend importing your times as "Text", which should solve your issue.

Are there any additional options for formatting? I have the same issue, but when trying to change the excel file to text, it changes the time to a number format like this: 0.689583333.
