Created: Oct 14, 2020 11:37 AM  |  Last Modified: Jun 10, 2023 4:20 PM (2403 views)

so i have a jsl data table that has dates like this: 04/09/2020 2:59:17 AM

when i save it to excel as xls file it saves it as 3675976666

Go to the Column Info for the column and change the format to the Date format you want. JMP dates are just numeric columns with the numeric value being the number of seconds since Midnight, January 1, 1904. So that is the number you are seeing.
