Understanding the timestamp from the Issues export

SpeakUp provides users the option to download data of their Issues overview. If you are not familiar how, please read: How do I download an overview of Issues?

By default your issues export will contain the following dates:

  • Created at

  • Updated at

  • Data retained until

  • Acknowledged at

  • Received at

  • Due date

All dates (except for ‘Data retained until’) are timestamps in ISO 8601 format.

Let’s look at an example:

created at

2024-05-22T08:47:27.946Z

  • 2024-05-22: Date in YYYY-MM-DD format, indicating the year (2024), month (May), and day (22nd).

  • T: Separator between the date and time components.

  • 08:47:27: Time in HH:MM:SS

    format (24-hour clock), representing hours (8), minutes (47), and seconds (27).

  • Z: Indicates the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) timezone. "Z" stands for "Zulu" time, which is the military name for UTC.

In summary, this timestamp represents May 22nd, 2024, at 08:47:27 UTC.

You can easily convert the timestamps in excel by using the below formula:

=DATEVALUE(LEFT(CELL NUMBER,10))+TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(LEFT(CELL NUMBER,19),8))

You can easily convert the timestamps in excel by using the below formula:

=DATEVALUE(LEFT(CELL NUMBER,10))+TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(LEFT(CELL NUMBER,19),8))

Please note that after applying the formula to column A, we formatted column B into a date format so that it becomes human-readable.
