I'm having trouble exporting date variables from Excel to Gretl.
For
example - in date form, 9 September 2011 is 09/10/11 but in general form,
it is 40491. When I export my xlsx file to Gretl, the date variable becomes
40491 in Gretl0.
What version of gretl are you using, and what is the precise
(visible) format of the dates in the xlsx file? Current gretl
should recognize xlsx dates provided the format is a standard
one.
If you want to send me your xlsx file I'll take a look.
