Hi all, I am trying to bring (Excel) data into Mapinfo which is in Julien date format. Two issues arise - when I bring it in it converts to the Julien value (eg 7/19/97 = 35630) - if I change the type in MapInfo from Float to Date, the column becomes blank Any ideas ? eg - does anybody have a formula, algorithm or MBX for changing Julien dates to a compatible date format ? - do I change the type in Excel (before bringing into MI) ?
