CleanMySheet guide

Standardize mixed date formats in a spreadsheet

CleanMySheet infers day-first vs month-first from unambiguous samples in the column (14/03 must be DMY; 03/14 must be MDY). Output defaults to YYYY-MM-DD. Catalog presets write DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. Ambiguous 03/04/2022 is left unchanged if the column does not reveal the order.

Date issues will be highlighted after scan.

  3. Use Dates as DD/MM/YYYY if you need that output
  4. Hover changed cells to see the conversion reason

Ambiguous 03/04/22

If one part is greater than 12, that side is the day. If every sample is 03/04-style, we do not guess month vs day—we leave those cells as they are rather than assuming US month-first.
