If you want yyyymmdd, you could do so via Excel to your csv file and, of course, just save it when done to a different name.

Open excel
Open file
click on column header to highlight date column
right click to get at format column
custom where you define as yyyymmdd or whatever you want (I would have to use custom as date for me does not have yyyymmdd option)
then file, save as, another name.

Afterwards in Amibroker you choose file/import wizard and click pick files indicating files with your .csv data. Hit "next" and define the type of each column. Remember about ticker if you have one in .csv fifiles. That's all.

If not does anyone have a sugestion on how to reformat the date?  I am a new AmiBroker user just learning to program. Any advice would be appreciated.
