Customer Data Import

We are running Oracle EBusiness Suite version 11.5.8 for the Service (Teleservice Module). This is a fresh implementation and the main customer data is on a DB2-AS400 box. I want to import (one-off and then regular updates) customer data (id, name, addresses, contacts etc) into Oracle CRM. We have a Oracle Gateway for AS400 implemented. Can some suggest a best way for this?
Thanks.

1.U can Check with the latest Datajunction Tool.
2.Export the data into Falt file or to Excel and from there Thr' sql Loader u can Import into Oracle.

Customer Data Importing issues

Guys,
I wonder if anyone has ever had any experience importing data from Mail Order Manager (a Dydacomp product)?
Next Monday we are going live with our system and things are progressing well. However we have just discovered 6000 duplicates in our imported customer data base of 25000 accounts. The reason for this is, to the best of our knowledge, there is no way of identifying an address pulled form our old system (MOM) as either a "bill to" or "ship to". So if an account in MOM had a different "bill to" than "ship to", SAP is creating two (if not more) BP accounts.
Has anyone got any experience with MOM and know how to identify what kind of addresses are being pulled from MOM?
Thanks,
Charlie

Gordon,
We exported the data from MOM into excel templates. These templates were provided to us by our first class SAP Partner. So we know the templates are good and map to the correct fields in B1. The issue is we can pull the addresses from MOM but you can not differentiate between a Ship to or Bill to address.
Does that help?
Thanks,
C

Use an imported RFC's type as type in the custom data object

Hello,
I've imported an RFC function in my process. There were created automatically some RFC types describing RFC's input\output parameters. Now I want to create my custom data object type and want to use previously created type in my data object, but I can use only standard types like string or anyType. There aren't any of generated types in the list.
Is it possible to use generated types as types in a custom data object?

Hi,
Where did you import the RFC? In WebDynpro application? If so, you need to expose the types through the Interface Controller then only the types will be visible in BPM process.
Thanks

MDM 5.5 SP02 Error during import of Customer Data

Hello,
I am a beginner in MDM 5.5.
I tried to import the customer data via the import manager. I got the error message:
<b>" E1KNA1M wasn't found in the source "</b>
What's wrong with this repository ? I used the DEBMDM06 for extraction out of an R/3 4.7. The XML-file includes this segment !
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Ronen,
Thanks for quick response.
Let me fill you in with the my environment info. I am using MDM SP 02 with SQL Server on Windows XP.
I am following the SAP NetWeaver MDM 5.5 SP02
Scenario Configuration Guide to import customer Data from R/3 to MDM repository via XI, idoc.
According to guide I was able to extract the Customer data from R/3, and using XI (and FTP) I was able to get the data file customer.dat (which is in XML format).
In console I tried to setup the client system as a you specified, but here is what I see in my MDM console
Name: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Code: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Client System: Import [ for this field it shows me Import, Export, Import/Export options only and not the inbound/outbound as you specified]. If I select option Import then only it will show this Client System while defining the Port.
For port definition it shows following fields
[Port]
Name : R3Import
Code : R3Import
Type : Inbound
Data Definition: [ dropdown options are Access, Excel, XML, Flat Text, XML Schema. Were you referring this field as the 'Format' field.]
XML Schema: I selected DEBMDM05 from dropdown.
Client System : MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Map: [ dropdown does not have any values to select and I can not type in that field]
If you are still with me, what are the correct settings for Client system and port?
How those settings are being used in Import Manager?
On Connect to Source dialogue screen what should I select/enter for following fields?
Type : [options are Access, Excel, ODBC, Oracle, Port, SQL Server, XML, XML Schema]
Should I be using Client System and Port or XML/XML Schema????
Client System: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Port : [ Why this value 'R3Import' is grayed out??? ]
Please help.

How can i put customs dates/anniversary dates from my contacts into my iphone calendar?

I have set up custom dates in my contacts as well as anniversary dates. I'd like to know if there is an app to import these dates into a calendar, it doesn't have to be the iphone standard calendar. I'd just like them to show up as a normal calendar entry, rather than having to add them manually into the calendar. Also, if you have an anniverary date in a contact, and then a relationship as "spouse" to another contact, does this not assume they will have the same anniversary date and therefore update their contact details with this event too ? I don't mind having to buy an app, but most of the ones i have read only add birthdays, and i want to ensure all the custom dates I have set up get imported. These are for friends children's details who don't have their own contact set up in my phone. Thanks, any help appreciated!

Bulk loading of Customer data into Application

Hi Guys,
I am going on with the development of Teleservice module on a new instance.
Now i need to migrate the data on the old instance to the new instance.
Please let me know if i have to use only APIs to create the customer into Apps or whether i can bulk load into the seeded tables directly.
This has to include even Service Requests data also.
Please let me know if there is any integration violation if we go with bulk loading of data directly.

You donot need to develop a code for loading customer data anymore. Oracle has provided the BUlk IMport functionality in 11.5.8 for importing the customer infromation (using Oracle Customers Online/Oracle Data Libraian modules). If you would like to create accounts in addition to customer parties, you will have to use TCA V2 apis or customer interface program. For migrating the service requests, i guess the only option is to use APIs. HTH, Venit

Problems with Custom Data Types when converting from TS 1.0 to 3.0.

I am currently involved in the process of converting a test environment from TestStand 1.0, LabVIEW 5.1, and Windows NT to TestStand 3.0, LabVIEW 7.0, and Windows XP. We use a custom Operator Interface developed in LV. Based on the entered Model and Serial number, the appropriate Test Sequence is called. We also use a custom Process Model. The steps in the Test Sequence are either LV code modules or DLLs created in C++. We have LV SubVIs and C++ API functions that allow the developers of the test steps to add data to various Custom Data Types. For example, a developer may set up a test to add a note (Step.Result.Notes[x].String) when the test fails. Step.Result.Notes is a container for an array of strings. The attempt to set a note first attempts to use SetDimensions to redimension the array, then SetValString to set the value. These notes are added to the report. On the old system, everything worked fine. A note could be added to any result. On the new system, if a note is added to say the 5th result, but results 1-4 do not have a note, the test sequence ends and the Operator Interface returns to waiting for data entry (as if no test ever happened). No report is generated. The LabVIEW libraries have been modified to solve this problem by calling SetDimensions to incrementally increase the array size by one, and populating the unused TestStand array elements with an empty array of LabVIEW strings using the SetValString call . In other words, based on the previous example, if the user wants to set a note for the 5th result, the notes for results 1-4 must first be sent an empty array of strings. The report will only display the note for Result 5 (as desired). In addition to this being cumbersome, attempting to implement the same workaround in the C++ API has been unsuccessful because even though the note arrays for unwanted notes (1-4) is initialized with nothing, it is still displayed as a note (empty) on the report. If anybody knows what is wrong and what the solution is, it will be appreciated.

Aaron,
Thanks for your reply. I will attempt to clarify. I am working with a single step. The step calls a DLL. The DLL performs many 'checks' on the UUT (e.g. Model Number Check, Serial Number Check, Calibration Constants Check, etc.). Under the Type Palette - MyTypes.ini, we have a Step Type called TEST_DLL with a container in it called Results. In the Results container are a number of things, but I will only list the important ones:
Notes (Array of Type 'Notes'; Type 'Notes' is a Custom Data Type (container, Type Definition)containing an array of strings called 'String')
-Notes are generally set when on of the checks fails, otherwise no Note is set for the check.
Val (Array of Type 'Val'; Type 'Val' is Custom Data Type (container, Type Definition) containing a Boolean called 'Boolean')
-Val indicates whether the check passed of failed
Pseudocode example:
//Model Number Check
check# = 0;
resultBOOL = ModelNumberCheck();
SetDimensions("Step.Result.Val", 0, "[0]", check#);
SetValBoolean("Step.Result.Val[check#].Boolean", 0, resultBOOL);
if(resultBOOL == FAIL)
Note# = 0;
SetDimensions("Step.Result.Notes", 0, "[0]", check#);
SetDimensions(Step.Result.Notes[check#].String, 0, "[0]", Note#);
SetValString("Step.Result.Notes[check#].String[Note#]", 0, "Model Number Check failed");
Note# = 1;
SetDimensions(Step.Result.Notes[check#].String, 0, "[0]", Note#);
SetValString("Step.Result.Notes[check#].String[Note#]", 0, "Model Number = 1234");
//Serial Number Check
check# = 1;
resultBOOL = SerialNumberCheck();
SetDimensions("Step.Result.Val", 0, "[0]", check#);
SetValBoolean("Step.Result.Val[check#].Boolean", 0, resultBOOL);
if(resultBOOL == FAIL)
Note# = 0;
SetDimensions("Step.Result.Notes", 0, "[0]", check#);
SetDimensions(Step.Result.Notes[check#].String, 0, "[0]", Note#);
SetValString("Step.Result.Notes[check#].String[Note#]", 0, "Serial Number does not match expected");
More Checks
As you can see above, the "Step.Result.Val" array is redimensioned for every check. The "Step.Result.Notes" array is only redimensioned when a note needs to be added for a failing check. If the entire step executes and no check adds a note, the sequence is fine. If every check fails and therefore every check adds a note, the sequence is fine. However, if there are any gaps (e.g. check 0 adds a note, check 1 does not add a note, and check 2 tries to add a note), the sequence will stop. If I add blank notes for every check that would otherwise not have a note, the sequence completes, but the report shows the blank note.
Also, the exact code that is causing these problems runs fine on our old systems (TestStand 1.0). I hope that I clarified the problem and thanks again for the help.

How to create Customer data TAB in PO -ME23N

How to implement screen exit for a SAP standard transaction
Introduction
SAP provides standard transactions to enter data into database. But a client may want to maintain some additional information in SAP other than what is provided.
To make provisions for this, additional screens have to be provided and additional fields must be added into appropriate database table.
To pave way for this, SAP has provided the option for screen exits. Usually, SAP provides the following:
An append structure in the database table with the new fields.
A subscreen area into the standard screen where the programmer can attach his subscreen of his own program with the new fields.
A function group under which the new subscreen has to be created with the new fields.
Function exits to synchronize the PBO and PAI of the standard SAP program with the PBO and PAI of the subscreen so that data can flow back and forth between the standard SAP program and the program written by the developer for the subscreen. These function modules also exist in the same function group under which the subscreen will have to be developed.
Finally, a linkage has to be done between the subscreen area of standard SAP screen with the custom subscreen constructed by the developer.
Typically, SAP provides an enhancement in which the developer can create an append structure, use the function exits to synchronize the PBO and PAI of the standard SAP program and the custom subscreen program, and make the necessary linking( as mentioned above in step 4. But, again, this is not a hard and fast rule. Linking in some case, is also done by configurations.) SAP also usually provides the name of the function group under which the subscreen has to be developed.
Necessary guidance about implementing a screen exit development is usually available in the Documentation section of the enhancement ( can be availed by transaction SMOD).
Pre-Requisites
The developer to work on screen exit should have essential knowledge on the following:
DDIC concepts, including the knowledge of append structure.
Concept of SAP Enhancements and implementing them using Projects.
Concept of function exits.
Knowledge on Module Pool including subscreens, Tabstrip controls etc.
Steps
Guidelines
So, a developer can follow the guidelines mentioned below to implement a screen exit to a standard SAP transaction, as and when required:
Find out the Required Enhancements
Go to SMOD. Press F4 in the Enhancement field. In the next popup window, click pushbutton SAP Applications. A list will appear that contains information on all the enhancements, categorized under functional areas. Developer must search for the enhancements relevant to his functional area of interest for e.g., Purchasing, Asset Accounting, etc.
Note down the enhancements. Then, come to the initial screen of SMOD and view the documentation of each enhancement to find out which one is required for your development.
Utilize the Enhancement in a Project
After you have found one, do as directed in the documentation. Generally, the steps are as follows:
Create a project using CMOD including your enhancement.
Create the append structure with new fields.
Go to the desired function group and create a subscreen with the new fields. Write PBO and PAI for the subscreen, if required.
Use the function exits in the enhancement to link the PBO and PAI of the subscreen with that of the main SAP program supporting the SAP transaction.
Maintain necessary linkage between the subscreen area of standard SAP program with the custom subscreen developed along with the custom program name. This can be done in the project (developed by CMOD including the enhancement) or outside as a part of configuration.
Activate the project.
Test to ensure that required functionality are met.
Case Study 1
Add three new custom fields for Asset master and maintain information for them
Requirement
Three fields in the legacy system have to be maintained in Asset master. These fields are:
Original Asset number 20 characters
Location 2 15 Characters.
Model no 20 characters
Location 2 should start with L.
Pre-Analysis
Finding out the Enhancement
As described above, the enhancement is determined. It was found, that enhancement AIST0002 will serve the purpose. It contains the following components (can be viewed by transaction SMOD):
Exit Type Description EXIT_SAPL1022_001 Function Exit Check of User-Defined Fields when Using Create and Change BAPI EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 Function Exit Transfer Data for User Subscreens in PBO. EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 Function Exit Transfer of User-Defined Fields to SAP Master Data Transactions CI_ANLU Customizing Include Include structure to add new fields
Studying the Function Exits
The function module level documentation for the function exits are then viewed from transaction SE37. The documentation clearly laid out for the purpose for their use:
EXIT_SAPLAIST_002
Function module Level Documentation
This function module is called by asset master data maintenance at the start of the dialog. (When changing, it is called after reading of the data from the database; when creating it is called after the transfer of the default values from the asset class and reference asset.) The purpose of the function module is to enable this function group to recognize the master data. For interpreting or controlling master data fields that are important for user fields, it is possible to transfer to global variables at this point, so that they can be recognized when the user subscreens are processed.
Import Parameters
Understanding
This function module is called at the PBO to pass the information retrieved from the database to pass them to the custom subscreen and its underlying program. Import parameter : I_ANLU will be populated with the values for user-defined fields which will be passed to the subscreen program. So, there must be some sort of variable assignment from I_ANLU.
EXIT_SAPLAIST_003
Function module Documentation: This function module is called by SAP asset master data maintenance after the screens are processed, but before saving. The purpose of the function module is to transfer fields entered on user sub-screens of SAP asset data maintenance to the database for updating. The export parameter for this function module is:
Understanding
This function module will be used to transfer the user entered data in the subscreen fields to the main SAP program, which will then be saved into the database.
Studying the Documentation of the Enhancement
The enhancement documentation (as is viewed from the initial screen of SMOD] also supports the idea. Moreover, it informs that we need to develop a subscreen under function group XAIS. This is the function group under which the two function exit modules also exist. So, if the custom subscreen refers to the global data of the function group XAIS, then those values will also be available to these function exits as well.
Going to SE80 and viewing the function group XAIS helps us to inform that there are three DDIC tables declared for it:
Deciding the Final course of Action
After making all the investigations, the final course of action was determined.
SrlNo Step Justification
A project has to be created using transaction CMOD where the enhancement AIST0002 will be included.
Customizing include CI_ANLU has to be created with the custom fields demanded When CI_ANLU will be developed, the custom fields will get appended to the database table ANLU. Also, these fields will be used to create screen fields in the new subscreen.
A custom subscreen, say, 9000 will be developed under function group XAIS. The screen group for the screen will be CUST (or any name). The three custom fields added to table ANLU (by creating CI_ANLU) will be used to create new fields in the screen.
In the PAI of the subscreen, validation for Location to start with L will be added. The subscreen with three new fields has to be developed so that it can be attached to a subscreen area of the asset master screens.
In the custom include of the function exit module EXIT_SAPLAIST_002, the following code will be written:-
ANLU = I_ANLU. I_ANLU is the import parameter of this FM. The value is assigned to the global variable ANLU, referring which the three new subscreen fields are developed. So, data retrieved from database table ANLU will be passed to this FM as I_ANLU by the standard SAP main program. The value will be taken and passed to the global variable of the function group XAIS, so that the three custom fields (referring to ANLU of XAIS) get populated.
In the custom include of the function exit module EXIT_SAPLAIST_003, the following code will be written:-
E_ANLU = ANLU. The changed values in the subscreen fields exist in global variable ANLU for the function group XAIS. This function exit module will pass the data back to the SAP main program as E_ANLU.
Proper linkage/configuration has to be done so that the new subscreens get linked to the appropriate subscreen area of the Asset master screen. This has to be done otherwise, the new custom subscreen will not be displayed in the Asset master screens.
Development
Creating a Project to include the enhancement
Go to transaction CMOD and create a project.
Enter a description for the project. Then, click on the pushbutton Enhancement Assignments in the Application Toolbar.
Enter the name of the enhancement and Save.
Go to Components.
Creating Custom Include for ANLU
The screen shown below will appear, showing all the enhancement components under the assignment AIST0002. Double-click on the name of the Include Structure to create it.
Create the include structure with three new fields, as required. Then, save and activate it.
Develop the subscreen and the program
Go to transaction SE80. For the function group XAIS, create a new subscreen 9000.
Create it as subscreen.
Then, go to the Layout of the screen and create three new fields from Database table ANLU.
Drag the fields in the screen body and place them.
Then, save and activate the screen and come back to screen flow editor.
Create the PAI module to add validation for field Location 2, as required .
Activate the whole function group and come out.
Write code in the Function Exits to synchronize the programs
Now, code has to be written in the function modules EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 and EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 so that data flows to and fro between the main SAP program and custom subscreen program. For that, go back to transaction CMOD and change the function exits.
Write code in the function module EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 called once at the beginning of the transaction:
Write code in EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 to pass the data from the subscreen to SAP main program.
Then, activate everything the whole project and come out.
Complete the configuration to link the subscreen
The development portion is complete. Now, linking of the subscreen has to be done with the subscreen area of the main program. In most of the cases, this linking can be done in the enhancement itself. But, here, requirement is a bit different. It is done by configuration using SPRO.
Assets are created under Asset class. And for each asset class, there is a layout assigned to it. For a layout, there are multiple tab pages assigned to it. And, for each tab page, there are multiple screen groups/field groups assigned.
Here, the requirement is to create these three custom fields in the tab page General of asset master screen ( AS01/AS02/AS03/AS91).
Determine the Layout
To achieve this, first of all, we need to find out which layout is assigned to asset class 1000.For that, go to transaction AOLK( information has to be obtained from functional consultant).Select the Asset Class 1000 and click on folder General Assignment of Layout.
Here, for Asset class 1000, for all the user groups, tab layout SAP is assigned. Since layout SAP cannot be changed, it has to be copied and manipulated to include our screen group. Later, the new layout has to be assigned over here.
Create new tab layout
Go to transaction AOLA. Copy the tab layout SAP to create another layout, say, YSUB.
System will copy all the settings and will inform you about that.
Select your newly created layout and double-click on the folder Tab page titles.
You want to put your custom fields in the tab page General. So, select this tab page entry and double-click on the folder "Position of Groups".
Here, all the field groups currently residing in the tab-page General are shown. Add an entry for your newly created fields.
Select the group box from the list. An entry will come with U padded with the custom subscreen prepared by you.
Then, save and come out.
Assign the new Layout to Asset Class
Now, go to tcode AOLK and assign tab layout YSUB for asset class 1000.
Save and come out.
Test the Exit
Everything is over. Now, go to transaction code AS01/02/03 or AS91 to deal with an asset of asset class 1000. You will see your new fields added to the screen. Add values to themsave. Then, enter into the tcodes again to see whether the values entered by you are being displayed or not.

BEA Custom Data Transfer and non-BEA Producer Portals?

Hello,
I recently had a problem where my BEA 10 Consumer was not sending my BEA 10 Producer the user's x509 digital certifcate used in authentication. In a non-WSRP environment, the certs come over in the HttpServletRequest object. I was told that for WSRP, BEA strips things out of the request object and the cert was one of those things. The solution was to implement BEA's Custom Data Transfer. I was able to create a solution for our problem using this approach. All is well.
Now I have run into a problem where one of our other projects is using a non-BEA portal and wants to also be a Producer. Since the Custom Data Transfer is a BEA solution (the Producer portlet class imports BEA classes), how can a non-BEA Producer receive the user's digital certificate since they presumedly can't implement the BEA Custom Data Transfer (unless, I guess, they bring in some BEA library file with those particualr classes).
Any insight? Thanks - Peter Len

Peter,
What producer are you using, some other vendors have implemented BEA's
custom data transfer. Also, the WSRP committee is looking into
standardizing this.
Additionally, you may use an interceptor (9.2 and later) to set HTTP
headers that the producer may be able to use.

Hello,
I recently had a problem where my BEA 10 Consumer was not sending my BEA 10 Producer the user's x509 digital certifcate used in authentication. In a non-WSRP environment, the certs come over in the HttpServletRequest object. I was told that for WSRP, BEA strips things out of the request object and the cert was one of those things.

Where to define new custom data type ?

Hi,
In the past (TS 3.5) I've created our own custom type palette file which has been used
to store new data types and then passed the file to other colleagues. The file would be
stored in the ......\Program Files\.......\User area.
My question has arose because we are now using TS 4.1/4.2 which no longer has separate
NI and User directories in \Program Files.
Because I now want to edit an existing custom data type, I find that our custom type palette has
fallen by the way side, forgot about.
Even though I can see the custom data type definitions within sequence files that employ
the custom data types, which means I can modify them locally, I intend to return to
a custom type palette, i.e. global definition.
What is the relationship between data definitions in a custom type palette and the custom data
type definitions within a sequence file ?
When does a palette file update a sequence file ?, which takes control in the event of conflicts ?,
is a palette file actually necessary if separate sequence files using the same custom data type
can update each other ? What is good practice when defining custom data types ?
thanks,
Gary.
Solved!

Hey guys,
This is an very interesting thread, and I whole heartedly agree with the advice given so far. I simply wanted to offer some additional advice on type conflicts - which with further answer the initial question regarding which type definition takes precedence in the event of a conflict.
It is important to note that TestStand uses type Names and version numbers to identify the different types. It is also important to note that when you use a customer type definition within a sequence, the sequence file (.seq) which houses the sequence will retain a copy of the type definition. This makes distributing sequence files much easier. However, it also opens the door to potential type conflicts.
TestStand only allows one uniquely named type to be loaded into memory at any given time, so it uses the versions number of the type to attempt to automatically resolve these conflicts. For example, TestStand can be setup to load whichever type has the highest version number (note that this can be changed via the Preferences tab of the Station Options dialog box).
All of this information and more can be found in the following tutorials...

Text data import wizard

I need to add a text data import wizard much like Excel has to import data. I am wondering if there is a library that has these features somewhere. I do not want to write the whole thing from scratch since it will be time consuming and expensive for my client.
Thanks

LOL!! Yes, he's crazy!... No, actually, we are developing a cross platform application to begin with. And also, this client has desktops with Windows 2000 and ALL machines are locked (you cannot install or change anything in the machine, much less change the registry), except for a drive that is in the network. So, what we do is package custom Java applications with the JRE and all the libraries we need into a CD or that drive in the network and they run what they need. We have accomplish that with .NET as well. Anyway, that's why :)
If anyone knows about the library, please, let me know ASAP.
Thanks!

Updating custom data types

I've updated a custom data type and redeployed my component; however, I'm not seeing the update take. What do I need to do to see the update? Restart the server?
Thanks

Hi there,
you can use your own classes as service method argument or return type. But you should not forget to do a type mapping on both the service and client side.
I can tell you, how I am sending and receiving my own datatype called "FileBean" which is a simple JavaBean with getter() and setter() methods for the properties.
I'm using axis for deployment and tomcat as the web server, where my service runs on (currently only local but in future this will be remote).
Service class: "InstallationService.java"
Bean class: "FileBean.java"
Client class: "FileSaving.java"
My deploy.wsdd file has the following entry:
<beanMapping qname="myNS:FileBean"
xmlns:myNS="http://packageDelarationBackwards"
languageSpecificType="java:packageDeclaration.FileBean"/>
...The method header in my service:
public FileBean storeAttachments(FileBean file)The important part of my Client:
QName qnFileBean = new QName("http://packageDelcarationBackwards", "FileBean");
call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpointURL) );
call.setOperationName(new QName("InstallationService","storeAttachments"));
call.setReturnType(qnFileBean);
call.registerTypeMapping(
                        FileBean.class,
                        qnFileBean,
                        new BeanSerializerFactory(FileBean.class, qnFileBean),
                        new BeanDeserializerFactory(FileBean.class, qnFileBean));
....After deploying the service and starting the server I can send my "FileBean", work with it and give it back.
Hope this helped. If you need more information, just let me know.

Custom date format is not working for me

I have a bunch of dates imported from another spread sheet. They look like this:
February 04, 2014 at 09:24AM
Numbers 3.2 sees this as Text, so I went about making a custom date format. It looks like this:
However, I cannot make Numbers see it as a date. It keeps saying it is a string. If I select the cell containing the date and set the format to "My Custom Format", nothing happens - at all.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi Michael,
The Custom format you designed will display a normal Dave and Time value in the way your import presents it. That's not what you want though.
To comvert the imported format to a regular Numbers format, use a conversion expression in a new column.
Assuming your Imported Date is in Column B, Insert a Column and use this expression:
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(B, LEN(B)−11))+TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(B, 7)
Format your new column to the way you want to see Date/Time in your document.
