Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: excel data into oracle through sql loader
Have you considered to use find&replace tool in excel and replace all the "th" string with nothing, and then reformat the cell as you need.

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 etc...)
But it was entered in the cells as 101201 When I formatted the data using the excel option cells -> format
The data it is displaying in a strage format: 1/27/2177
All the date values are displayed improperly.
Does anybody come across such a situation. How to format the date cells
in excelsheet.
(should I change any options for the sheet)
Thnx in advance,
Srinivas
