Excel Date Import Automation - 22/05/2026 13:26 EDT
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have an Excel file that contains a column of dates I need brought into my system. All I need from you is a small, reliable routine—whether that ends up being a macro, a lightweight Python script, or any other approach you prefer—that reads the spreadsheet and inserts the dates into the target table or API endpoint exactly as supplied.
Because I’m importing, the user will never enter dates manually; accuracy in transfer and preservation of each original value is the priority. I haven’t locked down the final display format yet, so if conversion is required let’s keep it flexible: the code should let me switch between common patterns (MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, or ISO-8601) with a single setting rather than hard-coding one style.
Deliverable
• Ready-to-run script or macro with clear, inline comments
• A short README showing any prerequisites, the command or button to run, and where to change the output format
I can provide a sample Excel sheet the moment we start. Let me know which language or library you’d like to use and how soon you can turn it around.
