  yes, i do it all the time with the Excel import to app function. If your app has a date/time field, you can import an excel date/time column into that field. Podio provides some options for how to treat the imported date. To import from Excel you need to be have admin access to the app. Podio fixed a bug I found a while back around how it treats Excel date formats.

  i recommend to export a file to see what is exactly the format to be accepted by podio. Then just make that exactly format in excel before importing. Try a few times to understand this completely.

  So Alex,

  The date/time format in excel, does it need to be set up a certain way? In order for that field to be accepted? I have a time and a date and when I try to drag it over, it doesn't accept it. Thanks - Carla
