    Text to column (CSV) date formating issue

    Hi All..
    I have a data upload in CSV file that I need to play around with later...
    The problem I'm facing is that the dates are formating 2 different ways...

    Sample.png

    any idea how can I change the settings so it will format in to notmal day/month/year time format? and not PM / AM one?

    when you import CSV are you specifying the date field - rather than just double click on the CSV file - try open - it should open the wizard
    then you can specify the column format type

    It looks like everything with a day < 13 is formatting differently from days that are > 12. This is because there are only 12 months in the year.

    This is commonly due to differences between MDY and DMY formatting. I have a feeling that you formatted the dates improperly.

    As etaf suggested, make sure that you chose whether the dates are formatted as MDY or DMY while in the Text to columns steps.
