I am considering purchasing some historical intraday data. The data has however a datetime format that I haven't figured out how to import into a new ascii dataset. To avoid data manipulation if possible - how should I set up the ascii dataset configuration? Thank you

Did you try

CODE:
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss


You'll have to type that into the date format field.

@mb5413, it's been this way since WL6 (editable field). Here are some guidelines on importing the various ASCII formats:

Cool - thanks Eugene
(although purchasing historical data was not an issue during Fidelity days)
