Wow Jim that was a very creative solution. It would be a bit cumbersome in my situation. Our warehouse vendor is sending us a file of open orders and I want to compare for discrepancies with our order files. Several of the columns they are sending are date fields. I guess there must be documentation on how to convert that Excel number to a date but I was hoping IBM or someone else had done it for me :) Alan Novick Pressman Toy Corporation New Brunswick, NJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Damato" <jdamato@dollargeneral.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 3:46 PM Subject: RE: Upload Date Data from Excel The last time I did this I ended up concatenating the character values of the Excel DAY, MONTH, and YEAR functions into another column, and dropping the value of that string into another. I just searched, but I don't still have the spreadsheet. It took a long time to debug, but I had given up on dealing with the integer value behind the date cells, and couldn't find an easy way to translate dates into values while retaining the format. I'm sure there's a better way... -Jim James P.

When I upload to the AS/400 it becomes a number. Anyone know how to bring the date up?
