Hi

I am trying to load data with dates into a Data Table (Through Data Shuttle) and have it be recognized as a date in the ISO 8601 format to function properly. The .csv & .xlsx files I am loading often only come with the field as a date (MM/DD/YYYY) or sometimes (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS). Currently, these files are being dropped off into a form to trigger the automation. Is this something that can be set up in Bridge or do I need to create another sheet for a staging area and convert it there.

THanks

  • Hi @abanner

    I would translate these dates in a sheet in Smartsheet; either in a "staging area" like you noted or a helper column with a column formula if you already have a destination sheet.

    Please also provide your feedback on this feature to the Product team through this form, here!

    Thanks,
