CSV Format Best Practice The accepted state format for all iNHDEX extracts is Comma-Separated Value (CSV). If the Microsoft Excel application is installed on your computer, this file type usually defaults to opening with it. Microsoft Excel handles date-time values in a very specific way. The default handling of date values removes leading 0s, which will cause issues with your reporting. To avoid issues, make sure to perform edits to CSV files through a text editor application such as Notepad, Notepad++, or a similar text editor application. If you want to continue using Excel, ensure that all date fields are set to format MM/DD/YYYY with leading 0's (e.g., "8/4/2024" should display as "08/04/2024"). This article from Microsoft provides detailed instructions on how to change the format of dates within Excel: Format a date the way you want - Microsoft Support. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
