Hi,
I note your comments about having my own excel sheet with bookings etc on it, which I already do, as the AirBnB data is always a pain to manipulate.
My main point is regarding the Date formats in the CSV. When I download and enter into Excel you get columns with mixed formats in the same column. If it were just US format that is easy to fix to either leave it or convert to UK if needed. When you expand the column widths you get right & left justified "Dates". The Right justified dates are correctly in US Date format, however the Left justified Dates are actually in General format. I also tried changing the UK to US Language but makes no difference. See screenshots.

I have worked out a mini method to change General into USDate but why is this even happening? All dates are surely coming from the same source so why is the AirBnB system doing this? I have been importing CSVs from various sources into Excel for years and have never come across this happening. I can't think that my import is doing anything either as its just a 1 click operation.
Thoughts?
