Hi all,

I have imported a tabel from sql 2005 to excel 2007, I am getting dates for some columns as '1/2/1900 12:00:00 AM'

However when I do a select in sql it gives me
'1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' which is right,

why the date is getting changed in excel for only some columns, and the datatype for those columns is date only.

Regards,
aak

Madhi is probably able to give you a better advice on this one (he's the excel whiz among us) but what I do is to convert the datetime columns to varchar in the correct format first sort of like this:

SELECT Something, MyDateColumn AS CONVERT(varchar(25), MyDateColumn, 120)
