Export Salesforce dates in a way that Excel Mac can use
I am exporting reports as XLS files from Salesforce. These reports have dates that I want to be able to manipulate in Excel but... Excel doesn't recognize them as dates.
The format outputted by Salesforce right now is m/d/yyyy (ie: 8/18/2022). When I go in Excel and change the format to date... the data is not recognized as a date. It seems the only thing that Excel can consume are dates configured as yyyy-mm-dd.
I tried to play with Excel formatting date form with no luck.Excel doesn't recognize the Salesforce format, or does not propose anything similar to it
Is there a setting in Salesforce or in Excel that I need to adjust so that both apps can generate, and digest the same date configs? I want to run these reports weekly so whatever requires the less Excel gymnastic will be the best solution (Google Docs for instance recognize dates as Salesforce spits them... - but I can't use GDocs at work).
You should use PowerQuery to import the data to Excel.
In PowerQuery change the Column-Type USING LOCAL Select Date and English (United States)
