i save a file from Sage Payroll in csv format to use with my banking
software. this has always run smoothly.
i have saved it in exactly the same way today but it has saved around 50% of
the sort codes as dates e.g sort code 09-06-40 now shows as 09/06/1940 when i
try to format the sort code cells as custom 000000 it comes back with a
figure of 014771????????????? i am baffled.... someone please help!!!!!

thank you!

Hi Kaitlin

14771 is the serial date for 09/06/1940
If you rename the .csv file to a .txt file, and then try to open in
Excel, it will go through the Data>Text to Columns Wizard.
In the Third step, choose the column with the Bank sort codes, and
select Text.

Can you use Data==>Import External data and use the Text Import Wizard to set
your Sort Code field to TEXT?
