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,
- Collect the date data as normal.
- Export the file.
- Open the CSV file in Excel.
- Add a column next to the Date Trait column.
- 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.
- 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.
