Wrong date in exported excel files

hi,

 

I'm using the Export to Excel method on a view. When it exports my list to excel, the dates are different from what is stored in my database. Querying direct from my database shows Belgium time (UTC +1).

I checked my server's timezone and it is on Romance Standard Time (UTC +1)

 

thanks

Please see the following.

“Excel Import Service Broker”: https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Excel-Import-Service-Broker/ba-p/65814?nobounce,

Export to Excel function in K2: datetime data is not displayed the same as on the SmartForm: https://help.k2.com/support-services/kbt163432.

 

Best,

Hi AaronAbe


 


Your dates are coming into Excel formatted as Text.


 


To convert in Excel, click column for date and change the format to Short Date.


Then select Data|Text to columns and click Finish

thanks. The 2nd link you gave on formatting the column did the job.
