Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Date Entry copied from Excel

This has something to do with your regional setting in the control panel.

 

Change your basic date format to mm/dd/yy, and the problem shud be fixed.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Date Entry copied from Excel

I am a real newby trying Metastock. I have taken historical stock
data from Yahoo and downloaded to excel. I am trying to copy it to the
particular stock in downloader. I keep getting an "invalid date" so
hence cannot save it. The booklet says to use mm/dd/yy but the date
data in downloader seems to be dd/mm/yyyy. I have tried a variety of
date formats from excel but keep getting "invalid date".

Any help would be appreciated with this frustrating and very basic
issue.

Thanks. Norm.
