Re: [Gretl-users] Unable to import excel file

Hi, Can't read date column into gretl. I've read the manual, formatted the column as gretl would expect (file is attached). But when I want to read the file I receive and error message saying "can't make sense of the extra bit". It seems, gretl sees the internal excel date value which is a number representing the date value as the number of days since 1/1/1900 (A serial number 1 represents 1/1/1900 internally in Excel). Tried many variations with no luck. Assuming this might be due to local regional settings (which were Turkish) having different date formats, I switched to English (USA) settings and tried, but did not work. Any ideas ? Thanks, Bulent Erdemir
