This is the universal standard for date string and will import nicely into your datetime column, of your destination.Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:27:23 GMTmmartin1http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1408142-148-1.aspx[quote][b]sqlstud (1/16/2013)[/b][hr]Hi,[b]I am loading the table from Excel source using SSIS 2005.[/b]Excel contains one of the columns as [b]Exp_Date[/b] and its examples values are10/09/2010 17:00:51 11/09/2010 11:45:16 11/09/2010 11:45:16 13/09/2010 10:07:59 13/09/2010 10:07:59 13/09/2010 10:07:59 14/09/2010 10:44:59 15/09/2010 10:44:59 16/09/2010 14:19:25 In table, for some columns it is loading fine. But for some columns it is loading in an inconsistent manner, i.e. a date that should be loading as ‘10/09/2010’ is actually loading as ‘09/10/2010’.Please advise how to load the date column values into table as it is in Excel file.RegardsSqlStud[/quote]Which driver are you using?
