Correct Date Format for Zendesk CSV Uploads

Ensure your Zendesk CSV uploads use the correct date format: dd/mm/yyyy. Learn how to adjust settings in Excel or use Google Sheets.

What is the correct date format for Zendesk CSV uploads?

The correct date format for Zendesk CSV uploads is dd/mm/yyyy. This format ensures that dates are displayed correctly in Zendesk user profiles.

If you're using Excel, make sure to adjust the date format settings to include a four-digit year and set the Locale to United Kingdom (English). This will prevent Excel from changing the year to a two-digit format, which can cause display issues in Zendesk. Alternatively, using Google Sheets can help maintain the correct date format without additional adjustments. For more details, see theoriginal help document.
