Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me with this issue. My vendor is sending us an Excel spreadsheet that we import data from. The issue is that the date fields that they are sending us are in the format DD-MMM-YY (ex: 09-Apr-08)
I am trying to find a BFSN that will convert this to the format used in E1 (DD/MM/YYYY - eg: 09/04/2008)
At the moment, I am trying to convert the date to a string, format it correctly and then convert the string back to a date.
Is there an easier way to do this? Also what business functions are better for doing this - I found several in the program and I am not sure which one works best.
I am using Windows XP with E1 8.0 with SP23
thanks,
pbare
