# Import Event – Date Format Broken

 * FYI to everyone – the sample .csv file included with the Plugin to import Events
   has a 2-digit year, such as “15”. This causes dates to be resolved as “0015” 
   for the year. A solution for this that worked for me was to change the date format
   for the column in Excel to a 4-digit year, and then the dates came over correctly
   as “2015”.
