<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you, Sarah! I was using Excel. I just downloaded and tried the LibreOffice spreadsheet. I had to convert to CSV for it to be able to be importable into ASpace, but then it worked like a charm. (I possibly should have tried CSV instead
of Excel format in the first place). Problem solved, and hours of editing averted!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I had a lot of difficulties with the dates in the bulk import with Excel auto correcting the format of the cells. Are you opening the bulk import template with Excel? You can try
to switch the cell format to the proper format without the time data in Excel, but I had such a rough time with Excel that I switched to using LibreOffice’s version of Excel (after a recommendation from this listserv) and it solved basically all my annoying
formatting problems with the bulk import. I’m now a LibreOffice convert! I hope that helps.<o:p></o:p></p>
