- Automatic Date Conversion Utility Scripts
-
- Because of the various methods used by different spreadsheet
- programs to represent dates, care must be taken to accurately
- convert to Wingz any WKS or WK1 formatted files that were
- created using Excel, Full Impact, or Lotus 1-2-3. These
- DateConv utility scripts are provided to facilitate the
- accurate conversion of WKS and WK1 formatted files, and are
- only necessary if those files contain dates. To use the
- DateConv utility scripts, follow the steps below:
-
- 1. Load the worksheet(s) to be converted.
-
- 2. Select Run Script from the Script pull-down and select DateConv.scz
- from the UTILS\DATECONV directory.
-
- 3. Repeat step 2 for all worksheets to be converted.
-
- IMPORTANT: No adjustments are made to cells that are formatted
- as dates and contain formulas or text. Instead, date formatted
- cells that contain formulas are flagged, enabling you to visually
- verify the cell contents.
-
- If any date formatted cells that contain formulas or text are
- encountered, a list of those cells and their contents is
- displayed in a worksheet titled "Formulas.wkz." You should
- then verify that none of the listed cells contain hard coded
- references to non-standard date serial numbers. If a hardcoded
- reference is found in a converted Excel or Full Impact worksheet,
- you must add 1462 to the hardcoded date number. If a hardcoded
- reference is found in a converted Lotus 1-2-3 worksheet, you
- must add 1 to the date number, IF THE DATE IS PRIOR TO
- MARCH 1, 1900.
