25. Why should I use four-digit-years in my documents or data files?

The use of four-digit years in spreadsheets, database files or any other important personal data files will lead to the highest level of accuracy because the century of the date will be specified and will not need to be interpreted. It is important to verify that your data files, as well as those you exchange with others, are prepared with four-digit-year dates.
