Hi lists,
I need to load the excel sheet data to oracle tables. A date column is
improperly entered by users.
In the excel sheet the date column was filled up without using hyphens
or slashes
the data is like this
todays date: 10th Dec 2001
(it is supposed to be 10/12/2001 or 10-Dec-2001
Have you considered to use findreplace tool in excel and replace all the
th string with nothing, and then reformat the cell as you need.

Workaround: Treat the Column as text (within Excel) and transform it
with a little VBA Macro into the format you want to use in Oracle.

to mess around with Excel.
So you
