I'm trying to export Excel sheets to MySQL as new table using the plugin.

The export fails on "MySQL error 1064" when I tried to change the data type to Date.

I have a few columns in Excel that are formatted as Short Date, although some of them are generated by functions like =TODAY(), some are numbers like "42445", etc.

But all of them date type not Date Time.

For example it bothers me that MySQL detects '1/1/2016' in Excel as '1/1/2016 12:00:00 AM' as VarChar(225). And whenever I changed the type to Date the error message mentioned above appears.

I did try to re-format the columns in spreadsheet to YYYY-MM-DD but MySQL always convert them to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS

Thanks in advance for any help.
