Hi,

I have a CSV and have formatted the date as DD/MM/YYYY but when I save the file and come to reopen, the formatting has gone, any idea why please?

Open the csv file in a text editor like notepad. Is the date correctly formatted?

it looks ok I think. I am importing the data into SAS and when I look at the output from importing, the data field just shows as a dot(.)

If the csv looks ok in notepad, then the problem lies with SAS (whatever that is) or the way it's being imported.
