  • Odd one. Moving data from a csv in one citrix session into an xls in another citrix session so I can analyse using pivots and vlookup, but more importantly save & share the data (can't on first citrix, systems eh).

    When done the date field gets muddled from ddmmyyyy to mmddyyyy format.

    This means also the biggest value is 12/12/yyyy ie there are no day values 13-31 which is statistically improbable given that I'm looking at 5000+ customers last visit dates for a venue open 364 days a year.

    Is there any pre-work (formatting) i can do in the first citrix session to ensure I get the correct data across to the xls file in the second citrix session?

    Caveat - it might also be a flaw in the database I'm reporting on, however one customer I've checked on both the csv & xls has a last visit 28/10/16 (csv) which ends up showing as 10/12/2016 on the xls.

    Confused? Me too!

  • If you open the CSV, it becomes an XLS instead, adopting the system and excel preferences of the environment in whichnis being opened.

    When you save the CSV, make sure that the whole document is formatted as text.

    Rule 1. Never open csv files in excel.
