日期与时间上传数据航天飞机是辊筒y with Date
Hi Everyone,
I'm uploading Input excel having column value "6/1/2022 1:22:23 AM". But after uploading into SmartSheet, it comes only date "2022-06-01".
I need exact format which is in my Input file.
Anyone help me on this.
Thanks,
Sandhiya P

Smartsheet Date columns can only house Dates, there currently isn't a Time function in Smartsheet. (System Columns can include timestamps, however these cannot be updated by Data Shuttle).
If you need to see the time, make sure to map this column to aText/Numbercolumn in Smartsheet so that all of the text will appear.
Let me know if that works for you!
Cheers,
Genevieve

Hi Genevieve,
I am encountering the same issue. I have set the column type to 'Text/Number' and the import via Data Shuttle is set to 'Auto', however it is still not pulling the time.
I need to be able to sort by this submission date and time.
Many thanks for your help!

Hi@jchalig
Try adjusting your Data Shuttle set up to identify the values asTextinstead of a Date (Auto).
In your screen capture you show this:
Try to turn that "Auto" into "Text:

Hi Genevieve,
Thanks - I'd already tested with all three options - Auto, Text, and Number. It didn't help, regretfully.

Hey@jchalig
How is your source file configured? Can you try importing a different file type, for example a CSV?
Thanks!

Hi Genevieve, the sheet cannot be saved as CSV because it is a workbook with multiple sheets. Data Shuttle is distributing the data out from each of these Excel sheets to their respective sheets in SS. Therefore the import source file is in XLSX.

Hey@jchalig
What is your column set to in the source data, the XLSX file? I'm trying to replicate what you're seeing, but as long as the import is coming into a Text column it should retain all of the text from the source file.

Hi@Genevieve P.thanks for the continued efforts on this.
1) Excel is in a date/time format.
2) I've ensured that the DS is set to text, as is the column in the target sheet. I've also refreshed the columns and run a full import to see if anything changes. Nadda.
I'm guessing it's got something to do with the source format at this point. This particular file is an XLSX downloaded from a Google Sheet. Regretfully there is no way around this.
Let me know what else I can provide to help!

Hi@jchalig
Thank you for this additional information! I can replicate what you're seeing now when the file is originally a Google Sheet. When testing the file in an XLSX format, I adjusted the dates to be text out of curiosity. This came through as a set of numbers.
According to the web, Google Sheets uses a sequential database of numbers to store dates to be able to perform calculations on them. I believe that Data Shuttle is only able to read the date portion from that Google Sheet number calculation during the import, since Smartsheet does not have time built in, since the source data can't be converted to Text (whereas XLSX dates can be text instead of Date/Time during import).
To get around this, I added a column to my XLSX document after it was generated with a formula converting it:
=TEXT(A1, "DD/MM/YYY HH:MM")
A converted column pulled through both the Dateand在航天飞机,因为它被视为文本的数据!I don't know if your process would allow for additional columns and formulas in the source data, but if it does, let me know if this has worked for you.
Cheers,
Genevieve

Brilliant work, Genevieve. I will give it a go to see if it works. No news is good news! Thanks again for your help.

No, it currently isn't possible to share the Data Shuttle workflow configuration with another account. The set-up for that workflow is associated with one account. (Please let our Product team know of your feature request by filling in this form, here!)<\/a><\/p> That said, many team members will be able to trigger<\/em> that workflow, depending on what that trigger is. For example, if the workflow is based on an attachment, any user can upload the attachment for the workflow. Does that make sense?<\/p>
