Closed leppott closed 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. HoboWARE outputs inelegant date formats. It uses 2 digit month and day but only 2 digit years. Can get 3 different formats; YMD, DMY, MDY.

Describe the solution you'd like Add handling in the formatHobo function to reformat dates based on user input. Cannot easily determine format without using regexpr and pattern matching.

Describe alternatives you've considered Having the user make the changes is insufficient. Excel will try to interpret and shows the user what looks like acceptable dates.

Additional context Need to make easier on the user.
