 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * TablePress never changes data automatically, so this most likely means that this
   happened during the export of the file (or in this case, with the import of an
   Excel file, during the experimental import).
    To fix this, please try the import
   again with a CSV file (that you can get via “Save as” in Excel). The date format
   should then be just as in the Excel file.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
