    Posted: 02 May 2008 at 1:42pm
I'm importing a CSV into Crystal 2008 and I'd like a column to be
interpreted as a datetime field. Currently it's being interpreted as a
string.

I'm specifying the field as standard time XML date time:
2008-04-21T09:01:01.445211.

What else can I do to get Crystal to interpret the field as a
datetime?

Thanks.

I created a Formula field that translates the datetime string from the CSV into a real datetime:

DTSToDateTime ({Step0009_001_sap_truncated_csv.End Timestamp})
