Re: Preferred Date Format When Importing CSV Files

2017-07-29 Thread David Carlson
It does seem odd that the importer does not default to the same choice that
the user has chosen for the data file, even though it is important to allow
the user to change it if (s)he has a CSV file with a different choice.

Different strokes...

Years ago I had to figure out how to make dates all y-m-d because
sorting by date is easier for me that way.

Preferred Date Format When Importing CSV Files

2017-07-28 Thread Paul W.
I set the date format to m-d-y in Edit>Preferences>Date/time
 
When I import CSV files, the date format on the Preview Settings page shows 
y-m-d.  I manually change the format to m-d-y.
What do I need to do to have GC automatically show the format I selected.
