Hello everyone,
I've imported some tab-delimited data with dates in the format day/
month/year in one of the columns. This is also the format I've
specified for the short format in OS X.
When I import the data, Mathematica reverses the month and day when
the day of the month is less than 13, so 5/2/2007 becomes {2007, 5,
2}. If the day of the month is 13 or higher, Mathematica can't
handle it and leaves it, so 15/2/2007 stays as 15/2/2007.
Is there any preference setting in Mathematica that I can change to
fix this?
Regards,
Greg
