Comments on: How to change Google Sheets date format and convert dates to numbers and text

In this guide, you'll find out how Google stores dates and how you can format them for your better convenience. Some date formats are offered to you by spreadsheets while others should be created from scratch. There are even a couple of handy functions for the task. I also describe a couple of ways to convert your dates to numbers and text if necessary. Continue reading →

  1. Hello!
    My data exports in format "Mon Feb 21 10:58:16 UTC 2022" but I need to change this to some standard format such as "dd-mm-yyyy" (I don't care about the other exported info). Is there a way to do it with a formula? Or how else?
    Thank you!

    1. Hello Mike,

      Assuming the date is in A2, try this formula:
      =DATEVALUE(MID(B5,5,6)&" "&RIGHT(B5,4))

      Don't forget to apply the Date format to a cell with this formula.

      1. I changed the B5s in your formula to A2 and it works! Thank you, you are a wizard! Have an amazing day

        1. Sorry, my bad! I tested the formula in regard to B5 and haven't changed it to A2 :)
          Happy to hear it helps!

  2. I have my date column as YR:MO:DY HR:MN:SE
    which is what I need, but my 'seconds' in that format have a decimal and additional digits, so the entry is longer that what is needed (only 2 digit seconds). Can I remove the decimal and all digits to the right via automated method which would leave only 2 digits for second data, or is that type of request not supported? (removing digits to the right of the decimal would still need to leave those same digits to the left of the decimal) Thanks.

    1. Hello Shaun,

      Can you please provide an example of what you see in a cell exactly and what you'd like to get instead?

      1. format current: 2021/12/29 23:20:45.71994700:00
        format desired: 06/14/2017 20:57:35

        I am not sure how to switch the date format to MM/DD/YR within the context of the time data. And need to remove everything after and including the decimal for the seconds. Thanks.

        1. Thank you for the examples, Shaun.

          If I get it correctly, you can first split your current record by a period using any method described here. This will return 2021/12/29 23:20:45 into one of the columns (let's suppose column B).

          Then you'll just need to use one the ways described in the blog post above to transform the format. For example: =QUERY(B2,"select * format B 'mm/dd/yyy h:m:s'")

          1. Thanks, that was very helpful. One last question - I can only have 8 decimal places max. One of my columns is current 9 places. How do I delete only the 9th place to the right of the decimal? Example: 5.527243528

  3. Hi there,

    Apologies if you've answered this a million times. I was trying to figure out how to make the cell following the one that I edited automatically update to the preceding date. So if I type 2/23, the next cell updates to 2/24 and so on. It seems like this is an automatic feature but it's not working for me. I do have the first cell entered as the word "Date" and then the next cell entered as Sunday, Feb,20, then I'd like the next cells to automatically update the dates.

    I read about the custom date and time feature and did that. Also, I'm being picky here but I don't know why the date reads "Sunday, Feb 20," I wanted it to get rid of that last comma. Thanks so much!!

    1. Hi Jon,

      You need to fill at least 2 cells with dates so Google Sheets could understand the desired pattern. Please see Method 2 in this blog post for details.

      To get rid of the last comma, I'd advise you to open the custom format settings and make sure no comma is at the end there.

  4. Good day! Please help me figure out this Google sheet formula where i am getting a decimal numbers instead of date format from other sheet. I am using the =importrange(datevalue(sheetname!entire column name:entire column name&2/5/2022 8:50:00)) this formula "unique(sheetname!column name:column name) is working when it isn't joined in many formulas. Please let me know how to fix this problem. Thank you.

    1. Good day, Jason!

      IMPORTRANGE requires a spreadsheet_url as its first argument, please see the details here.
      I'd also advise you to check the Number format applied to a column where your formula returns the data.

  5. When I’m using the keys to get current date and time. It gives the past date as xx/xx/1899. Please help me to fix this issue.

  6. Hello,
    I keep getting an error when i run this query;

    =QUERY(A2:N506,"select * format B,'d-mmm-yy (ddd)'")

    I have tried it with different sheets and the result is the same.
    The error is #VALUE!

    1. Hello Damola,

      I can see a comma right after column B in your formula. Try to remove it and see if the formula works then.

      1. Thank you, that was my error, now sorted.

  7. I keep getting this error when i run this query function

    =QUERY(A2:N506,"select * format B,'d-mmm-yy (ddd)'").

    I have tried it on different sheets and the result is the same .
    #VALUE!

    1. Hello Damola,

      I can see a comma right after column B in your formula. Try to remove it and see if the formula works then.

  8. Hello!

    I've been ripping my hair out in regards to how Google Spreadsheet says it has Swedish formatting regarding to dates etc. but when I enter 20/1 (20:th of January) it flips it to 1/20, which is not how short dates are written in Swedish.

    The most common way to write dates are d/m-yy and that format is not recognised as a date format at all. Depending on importance we do use dd.mm.yyyy or yyyy-mm-dd as well and those do work.

    Is there a way to change this so that it recognises the dates as it should? It's really bothersome that the most common way to write something is regarded as unrecognisable...

    1. Hello Kristofer,

      to make Google Sheets understand your 20/1 as a date, enter 20/1/2022 first and then apply a custom date format to this cell (Day/Month). Custom date format will also help you set the date as Day/Month-Year.

      1. Hi, Natalia!

        Thank you for your reply!

        What you suggest only works when writing the whole date in the cell and then tell it to show something else. If I copy the format by using the formatting tool (or manually apply the custom date format) it still flips it to 1/20 instead of 20/1.

        I am trying to make it easier to write the dates short and still use them as real dates, so the point is basically to rid the automatic formatting when entering new data in a cell as it is an error in regards to the regional settings. I have sent Google feedback on this issue several times and I'm trying to find a solution since it doesn't seem to be in their interest to fix it.

        1. Hi Kristofer,

          Until Google Sheets changes the standard format for your region (which I wouldn't expect soon since it looks like they currently use the international standards. You can look up 'ISO 8601' on the Web to find out more), I'm afraid the suggested workaround with a full date is the only way to get the desired result (except for Apps Script, of course).

          I wish I could help you better.

          1. Hi!

            Then I thank you for your time and effort; much appreciated!

  9. is there a way to convert yyyy-mm-ddT00:00:00.000Z format to a standard dd/mm/yyyy?

  10. I need to remove the timestamp and convert date to show only Month & Year, mmm-yyyy
    example - 28/11/2021 23:32:09 format to Nov-2021

    Is there a way to do this in one formula and keeping Nov-2021 in date format not text?

  11. From importrange I am importing data. It's having date field in dd/mm/yyyy (05/08/2021) format. After successful import I am able to check the date showing correctly (05/08/2021). But the thing is here it's showing month as 05 or May instead of 08 or Aug.

  12. A little correction:

    Instead of 102 for November 4, 1900 (100 days after January 1, 1900)

    the correct date is 4/11/1900

  13. I am auto importing some data (with the IMPORTRANGE function) into a spreadsheet that contains a column of dates in this format - 28/06/2012 13:02:28 - but the new imported data into the same column is in this format - 2021-09-28T08:52:17.436Z - which I need to automatically change on import to - 28/09/2021 08:52:17 - Could you help with how/if that is possible? Thanks in advance.

    1. Hello Simon,

      I'm afraid you'll need to convert that column afterwards separately using a formula like this:
      =SUM(SPLIT(A2,"TZ"))

  14. I have a column with BOTH dmmyyyy (one "d" when the day is 1-9, ex: 1092021 represents September 1, 2021) and ddmmyyyy (2 "dd" when the day is 10-31, ex: 14092021 represents September 14, 2021).

    How would I convert this into dd/mm/yyyy so google sheets will recognize it as the correct date ?

    Thanks so very much!

    1. Hello Cisca,

      Changing Number format won't help here because of the way Google interprets dates (as numbers).

      You need to use the method suggested earlier in the comments: extract the necessary parts of your number as a day, month, or year accordingly. For example (supposing the number is in A2):
      =DATE(RIGHT(A2,4),MID(A2,3,2),LEFT(A2,2)) (for when the day is 10-31)
      =DATE(RIGHT(A2,4),MID(A2,2,2),LEFT(A2,1)) (for when the day is 1-9)

  15. Can I change the Date format to Capitalize the Month like this:

    12SEP21. or 12SEP2021??

  16. hello! in my calendar, the dates are appearing as mm/dd/yyyy and i would only like them to appear as a single double-digits number. is there anyway i can fix this? thank you

    1. Hello,

      If I understand you correctly and you'd like to see the days only, just set your custom date format. If that's not exactly what you need, please provide a couple of examples of the dates you have and the dates you'd like to see.

  17. Hi, my sheet requires others to change dates. If one double clicks the cell shows a calendar from which to choose a new date. The problem is once changed, the new date reverts back to a default. How do I lock the format I want but still allow others to double click and change it from the pop up calendar. (Also how do I get the ticker you have on your site. Thanks. Alan

    1. Hi Alan,

      Dates usually change the format if they're set to Automatic or just Date. Try applying the format using custom settings and the date should always display the same format.

      As for the ticker, what do you mean exactly?

  18. Thanks a ton for such comprehensive coverage!

  19. Hi, I am getting date in ISO 8601 format, how can convert it into days.
    Ex-date- 2021-02-22T17:18:40+00:00 , I am able to convert 2021-02-22 this part but how can I proceed with the remaining part.

    1. Hi Aman,

      Supposing your ISO date is in A1, to get the time part as well, you can use this formula:
      =TIMEVALUE(MID(A1,12,8))
      Don't forget to apply the 'Time' format afterwards.

      Or even get both date and time with one formula:
      =DATEVALUE(MID(A1,1,10))+TIMEVALUE(MID(A1,12,8))
      Don't forget to apply the 'Date time' format afterwards.

  20. hi
    i was trying convert date value which is in text data type into date data type i did try using DATEVALUE and TO_DATE combination to turn it into number data type but it is not changing i also tried using query function with format but it doesn't work to so pls can you suggest something it would helpful

    1. Hi Shubham,

      Please specify how your 'text date' looks like and how you'd like it to see as a result. You can also provide the formulas you used, I'll see if there's a mistake somewhere.

  21. Hi, how to convert a date like this 2021-07-27T15:30:47.000Z to MM/DD/YYYY

  22. Looks like a useful site/article, unfortunately the ridiculous ticker running across the bottom of the page is so distracting I gave up and left your site. Even the little minimise icon just makes it smaller, but no less annoying.

    1. Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear it didn't let you finish the article. We'll make the bar static when minimized as soon as possible.

  23. How come you cant make the cells understand that they are dates. And sort them by date, month and year. Makes me think Im an iddeeet. Bye

  24. Hi,
    I'm still having trouble with my google sheet. Despite changing the locale and time zone to UK and formatted the date, it still appears in MM/DD/YYYY instead of DD/MM/YYYY. Can I email my google sheet to you and have it checked?

    Thanks.

    1. Hi Leng,

      Sure, feel free to share your spreadsheet with us – support@apps4gs.com. Please also highlight cells that don't display correctly or reply here where to look at.

  25. Hi Natalia--thanks for all your comments above. I've got a quandary with Sheets automatically converting a string to a date when an array function is pulling values from cells with either two-digit or three-digit strings like "4 5" or "1 2 3". The displayed values are respectively "44291" and "37623", respectively. Other cells that the array function uses that are populated with four-digit or one-digit strings like "4 5 6 7" "1" are accurately reflected as displayed.

    It's easy to replicate the problem by simply typing in the string and Sheets will automatically change the number to a date. And then you can force it to use Text as a format in that instance and it will be accurately displayed. However, choosing Text as the format of the affected cells in the array doesn't change the display.

    Is there a way to somehow constrain the source cells to be pulled in as text rather than as a date? I couldn't find a function to do that and I can't just do a concatenate because of the complicated nature of how it's building the strings.

    Thanks for your assistance!

    Scott

    1. Hi Scott,

      I'm unable to reproduce the problem with the concatenation – the strings are merged together as text. Could you perhaps share the exact formula you're using?

  26. Dear Natalia,

    How can I change the timestamp from 10/20/2072 19:06:56 (this came when I did the importdata of the query) to 05/27/2021 09:33:56 (the actual timestamp from my query). But on our data warehouse the dates are correct like this (05/27/2021 09:33:56)

    1. Dear Shuja,

      Go to File > Spreadsheet settings and make sure the locale and time zone are the same as in the correct spreadsheet.

      If this doesn't help, consider sharing an editable copy of your spreadsheet with us (support@apps4gs.com) and specify where the formula is.

  27. Dear

    Please help in timestamp function
    i have applied Timestamp function in doer sheet its working but issue is that we he done work timestamp taking current Date & time for Example:

    A Task Which Plan to do 25-05-2021 09:15 AM
    Doer Actual timestamp Do it 25-05-2021 09:20 AM

    But When he open after an hours sheet Actual Time Showing Current date time

    Please suggest here what can i do here
    i appropriate your positive response

    1. Dear Rahul,

      If you use NOW() to stamp the time, please bear in mind that NOW is volatile function. It recalculates itself in all cells on each start and once anything at all is edited in your spreadsheet. There are 3 ways to change this behaviour:

      1. Open the spreadsheet, go to File > Spreadsheet settings > Calculation and pick one of three existing settings for Recalculation.
      2. Enter static dates and time manually or using the following keyboard shortcuts:
        • Ctrl+; for date
        • Ctrl+Shift+: for time
      3. Or you may try to find a solution here – an overview of Google Apps Script with a lot of helpful content and links: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/overview

  28. i am able to use datevalue to convert 04/11/2019 to 43773 , but i get #VALUE! while trying to apple samer datevalue to 6/25/19

    i have tried cahnge the system dater as well
    I tried copying as values
    i tried formatting as text

    no success
    :(

    1. Hello Terence,

      Please consider sharing your spreadsheet where the formula doesn't work with us (support@apps4gs.com). If you have confidential information there, you can replace it with some irrelevant data, just keep the dates and their formats.

      Note. We keep that Google account for file sharing only and don't monitor its Inbox. Please do not email there. Once you share the file, just confirm by replying to this comment.

      I'll look into it.

  29. Hello, I am in a special configuration...

    I have :
    Nov 5, 2018, 1:33:05 AM

    I want : 05/11/2018 01:33

    Impossible with Excel, and I tried with Google Sheet but it seems too difficult for me... :(

    Thanks for your help.

    Best regards,
    JP

      1. Thanks :)

  30. This article was really helpful with easy instructions to change MMDDYY to DDMMYY. Thankyou

  31. I have been writing data in google sheet in DD-MM-YYYY but it has taken data in MM-DD-YYYY format, so when I sort the date, I am receiving wrong sequence

    1. Hello Madhur,

      Dates in Google Sheets are always sorted from the newest to the latest or back. If you want to sort only by days or by months, you will have to either convert dates to text or extract days/month to a neighbouring column and use it to sort data.

  32. Hi and thanks for the great information.
    I'd like to convert the date to Solar calendar date but I couldn't find a way to do so.
    Could you please help me with that?
    warm regards

  33. Hi. I I've done concatenation of time stamp & text , with multiple entries in a single cell (based on some conditions).
    Everything is working well except sheet is not displaying it in chronological order.
    I guess sheet is reading whole thing as text. I tried To-Date formula before concat, but didn't work.
    Kindly help.
    I've also shared the sample to your support id.

    arrayformula(IF({H2:H} "", CHAR(10) & text({B2:B},"dd/mm/yy hh:mm ---- ") & {H2:H} & char(10))
    02/03/21 21:20 ---- Test1 Test1Test1 Test1 Test1 Test1 Test1 Test1 Test1 Test1

    27/02/21 06:54 ---- Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2 Test2

    27/02/21 07:01 ---- Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3 Test3

    1. Hi,

      When you concatenate date/time with text, such cells turn into text strings automatically. Google Sheets can't treat such cells as date/time. For that to happen, the date/time must be entered in any Date/time format Google recognizes as such.
      The only thing I can suggest here is to separate your date/time from the text and sort the table by the date/time column.

      1. thanks for your reply.

  34. I am trying to sort by date but it is sorting alpha. I have changed the date format numerous time and it looks ok but still sorts alpha.

    I have read everything I can find and have tried it all. Why won't it sort by date. I am using dd/mm/yyyy.

    1. Hi Sharon,

      It looks like your dates are treated as text. If you're unable to change the format, for me to be able to help you, please consider sharing your spreadsheet with us (support@apps4gs.com). If you have confidential information there, you can replace it with some irrelevant data or remove it. Just keep the dates and their format intact. I'll look into it.

  35. thank you

  36. Hi,

    Great information.

    I was wondering is there a way to force the person entering the date to use the format, we wish to use. So for example I have set the date format to 24-Feb-2021. If someone types in for example 24.feb.2021 it overwrites the format and displays it that way as text. Oddly, if I type in 02/24/2021 it autocorrects it to the format I have chosen 24-Feb-2021. Anyway to force the user to enter it in this (24-Feb-2021) format only? Perhaps locking the format?

    Thank you.

    1. Hi Steve,

      Thank you for your feedback.

      When you apply the Date format to empty cells, all new dates entered into those cells are automatically displayed in that format.
      However, for that to happen, the date must be entered in any Date format Google recognizes as a date. Entering dates with periods won't work: periods turn your data into text automatically because periods are not used in Google Sheets dates. This is a very important concept to keep in mind.

      Thus, I can only advise you to inform other people on the correct way to enter dates (without periods).

  37. I have downloaded US credit card transactions which I would like to analyse with UK credit card transactions. I have attempted to change the format using the Create Custom Format in Numbers which failed (I made sure to include the / separator). Looking for a solution in Numbers or Google Sheets to convert the US date format to a UK date format. The file download is in .CSV format. Many Thanks

    1. Hello,

      Make sure the file you downloaded has a locale when you upload it to spreadsheets. This part of the blog post explains that.

      If setting the locale doesn't help, please create a copy of the file, remove all credit card numbers, emails, etc, but keep the dates intact, and share this copy with us: support@apps4gs.com. I'll look into it.
      Note. We keep that Google account for file sharing only, please do not email there. Once you share the file, just confirm by replying to this comment.

  38. Hi - I'm trying to convert a numeric value (202101) to 2021-01-01. I tried the default date format but it's returning 1/30/2453, please help. Thank you.

    1. Hi Wing,

      Changing Number format won't help here because of the way Google interprets dates (as numbers).

      You need to use the method Natalie used in the comment just above: extract the necessary parts of your number as a year, month, or day accordingly. For the number you provided, this formula will do (supposing the number is in A2):
      =DATE(LEFT(A2,4),RIGHT(A2,2),RIGHT(A2,2))

  39. Hello, I am converting a series of 6 text digits to a date

    ex. 010721 -> Jan 7th, 2021

    To do this I am using the function: =DATE(RIGHT(A1,2),LEFT(A1,2),MID(A1,3,2)), which works fine.

    However, it automatically is forcing the year into 1921 rather than 2021.

    How can I set it to recognize the two-digit year code as belonging to the 21st century?

    1. Finally figured it out. For anyone who has a similar question, the solution can be as simple as adding 100 to the year in the formula.

      ex. =DATE(100+RIGHT(A1,2),LEFT(A1,2),MID(A1,3,2))

  40. I used query function to summarised date month and customer wise. there is date in col k and I used following query "=QUERY(Dashboard!A4:G,"select A, month (F)+1, sum(G) where A is not null group by month(F)+1, A label month(F)+1 'Month', SUM(G) 'GRN' format month(F)+1 'MMM'" ,1) but in result of month it is showing only jan while if I remove format function from my query then result is correct. please notify me where I am doing mistake

    1. Hello Shailendra,

      what if you try to format the entire date rather than a month? Please try this formula instead:
      =QUERY(Dashboard!A4:G,"select A, F, sum(G) where A is not null group by F, A label F 'Month', SUM(G) 'GRN' format F 'MMM'")

  41. Hello,

    We use a web application which export reports using ISO-8601, so the dates are like this:
    2020-11-12T00:00:00

    But when we import the csv, Google Spreadsheet are unable to understand it as a date, keeping as text.

    It's fairly simple to convert using text tools, but in scale it's time consuming for the users.

    It's seems like a long known bug. Do you know something about, or have a tip for us?

    Thank you in advance.

    1. Hello Cristiano,

      For Google Sheets to treat a value as a date, it must be in one of the date formats sheets understand. Having T in the middle doesn't make that happen.

      I'm afraid I can only suggest you replace T with a space. To avoid replacing all T's in the sheet, I'd look for parts of the text, e.g. find '0T0' and replace with '0 0'.
      If you find the standard replacement tool time-consuming or not really suitable for the job, feel free to check our Advanced Find & Replace add-on.

  42. If i wanted to chain the date sequence by a month like: 11/1/2020 to 12/1/2020 to 1/1/2020

    how would i do that using the formula?

  43. I'm aware how to change and customize date formats but do you know of a way to permanently change the default to date format of MMMM dd or October 12 vs the sheets default? I have tried changing locale but still not working.

    Thanks in advance.
    Carlos

    1. Hello!
      Unfortunately, you cannot change the default date format in Google Sheets. You can create and use a format convenient for you.

  44. I'm trying to get sheets to display a specific date timeframe via using a formula:

    =E2&" "&"-"&" "&F2

    Instead of displaying dates from the indicated cells, it's showing numerical values ie:

    44100 - 44106

    When I want it to display:

    9/26/2020 - 10/2/2020

    How do I get sheets to display dates instead? I've already tried using variations of TO_DATE and DATE VALUE formulas with no luck.

    1. Hello!
      Dates in Google Sheets are stored as numbers. Therefore, you need to convert them to text.

      =TEXT(E2,"m/dd/yyyy")&" "&"-"&" "&TEXT(F2,"m/dd/yyyy")

      Hope this is what you need.

      1. While you're at it, I would compress it to:

        =TEXT(E2,"m/dd/yyyy")&" - "&TEXT(F2,"m/dd/yyyy")

        In order to save space.

  45. Hello, I'm doing history work and I want sheets to have the year 1467 to 1477 and I was trying to get it to show how long between two dates it was. However I don't want to have to use negative numbers constantly. Sheets assumes everything happens after 1900 by default. How do I change it?

    =date(1470,1,1) right now prints out 01Jan3370

    Currently I'm doing, where A2 is a number of Miles or Km and A3 is a speed in the proper measurements something moves. IE how long does it take a person on foot to travel from Akita to Kyoto if they start on Feb 3rd 1467. Once I know the answer in days I want to make it readable. I realize I could fake it with 1967 but I'd rather not do that. Esp if I turn it into a timeline that goes into the present day.

    =rounddown(round(Distance!A$2/Distance!A3)/30) & " Months" & CHAR(10) &
    rounddown((round(Distance!A$2/Distance!A3)-rounddown(round(Distance!A$2/Distance!A3)/30)*30)/7) & " Weeks"& CHAR(10) &
    (round(Distance!A$2/Distance!A3)-(rounddown(round(Distance!A$2/Distance!A3)/30)*30)-(rounddown((round(Distance!A$2/Distance!A3)-rounddown(round(Distance!A$2/Distance!A3)/30)*30)/7)*7) & " Days")

    1. Hello Mina,

      I'm afraid you can't change the way Google Sheets treats dates. By default, the first date there is 12/31/1899.
      For years between 0 and 1899, Google Sheets adds that value to 1900 to calculate the year. That's why you're getting 3370 when entering 1470 (=1470+1900).

      To calculate the number of days between such dates, you can try formulas like this:
      =DAYS(DATEVALUE("1477-1-1"), DATEVALUE("1467-2-3"))

  46. Hi i have 1 problem with dates if i type 23/8 it must put in the date 23/8/2020 according to my farnatting but it doesnt it only show 23/8 as data and not a date because it reads the 23 as month if i type 8/23 then it show the date 23/8/2020. I need to type the month first and then the date for google sheets to read it as a date. If i type the date and then the month as with excel, google sheets does not read it as a date. This is very annoying. Please help

  47. Hi Natalia,
    Thank you for the valuable information.
    my question:
    Is there is a clue to change the Language of the displayed month and day. for example to write NOT Saturday but Samedi in French, or "السبت" in Arabic.

  48. Thank you. It's really helpful, After changing the region to Indonesia, my Full Day name inside the Column changed from Monday to Senin. That is really a big help!

    This should be on the Google Docs Manual I think, because It's very useful, or maybe Google could endrose this kind of Community writting, it proven to be helpful for newbie like me :)

    1. Thanks a lot for your feedback, Benyamin.

      I'm afraid since we're not affiliated with Google we can't affect what they describe in their Docs Editors Help. You can try leaving a feedback from one of their pages (there's a special link at the bottom of each page), but we don't know how they are processed.

      Anyway, I'm glad you've found the solution here. :)

  49. I'm having an issue where my chart shows numbers instead of dates. Can't figure out how to change this.

    1. Hello Scott,

      I'm afraid I need more details to help you out: your chart type, the format of your source data, and settings for your chart axis.
      Alternatively, you can share your spreadsheet with us (support@4-bits.com) with your source data and the chart, we'll look into it. Note. We keep that account for file sharing only, please do not email there. Once you share the file, just confirm by replying to this comment.
      Thank you.

  50. Wow, thank you a lot! What was pretty useful to me!
