Need to export date data in Julian calendar instead of Gregorian calendar

23 Jul 2014

To export date data in Julian Calendar instead of Gregorian calendar,

  1. Collect the date data as normal.
  2. Export the file.
  3. Open the CSV file in Excel.
  4. Add a column next to the Date Trait column.
  5. Copy this formula into first cell of new column: =TEXT(C2,"")&TEXT((C2-DATEVALUE("1/1/"&TEXT(C2,"yy"))+1),"000") 

In this example, the column with the date in it is C2.

  1. Once the C2 value has been modified for your file, copy the formula to all the cells to be converted. This gives you a Julian date in the new column.
