How it works

  1. Finds the date columns by reading the cells, not the header.
  2. Works out whether 03/04 means 3 April or March 4 from dates like 25/12 in the same file. A cell whose own numbers settle it is read that way.
  3. Rewrites each date it can read. Any other cell is kept exactly as written and listed, so nothing is guessed silently.

What it reads

  • 2024-04-03
  • 3/4/2024, 03.04.2024, 03-04-2024
  • 3 Apr 2024, Apr 3, 2024
  • 3/4/24
  • 2024/04/03

Two-digit years: 00 to 68 are the 2000s, 69 to 99 the 1900s. A time after the date is dropped.

Questions

Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is read by this page inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server.
Which dates are kept as written?
Impossible dates like 31/02/2024, and text that is not a date. They are listed first in the preview so you can fix them by hand.
Is there a row limit?
No row limit. Files over 50 MB are refused because a browser tab runs out of memory.
