Working offline with PIT Data

Working Offline If you plan to upload changes, it is recommended that you work with a downloaded Collab data file using the IBM Spreadsheet Macro Tool to ensure that the data format is preserved and will properly read back into SCPM The date format for downloaded Collab data is MMDDYYYYHHMMSS, (Month Day Year Hour Minutes Seconds). If the downloaded Collab data file is opened directly into Microsoft Excel, the ‘General’ cell format will convert the date into a scientific number, e.g. 1.01+E13, which will cause a failure when the file is uploaded. To manually work around this, either: Set the date cells to the ‘Number’ format with Decimal Points = 0, or Set the date cells to the ‘Text’ format and copy & paste the dates from the downloaded Collab data file
