MyGeotab Data import format issue

I have data in an excel spreadsheet that I need to import into Geotab. I am having trouble with the date/time format. The error message I get requires the format to be in the following:

yyyy-mm-ddTHH:mm:ssz

I add this format in my excel file, but I still get the error. Any suggestions?

The date format is mostly correct the month just needs a 0 before the 5. So like this 2024-05-21T12:01:01Z

I have tried it where I added the "t" before hh and the "z" after the ss. I am gonna submit it with the date and time and see what it does.

The date must follow the ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ). For example: 2024-11-30T13:35:00Z The date must follow the ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ). For example: 2024-11-30T13:35:00Z The user with the following identifier does not exist: na. The zone with the following name does not exist: na. The date must follow the ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ). For example: 2024-11-30T13:35:00Z The date must follow the ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ). For example: 2024-11-30T13:35:00Z The date must follow the ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ). For example: 2024-11-30T13:35:00Z The VMRS System Code does not exist.

Hey @DGarc-10752​ I am a bit confused by your messages if you are still having an issue with the date will you send me a screenshot of your template so I can take a look at it?

I have a much large file to import, but I was trying to practice with the first part of it.

I updated the date and it worked.

Thank you.
