Hello,

As a reminder, Qlik interpret dates (coming from your Excel file) like numerical values! So, you need to convert  your headers (directly in your Excel file) into text.  It's simple, just add a single quote at the start for each text (inside each cell).

Regards.

Hi @MPH ,
I had a similar problem were I was not able to modify the column names to date format 
For values inside fields its possible to use date() function to format them as data , but I didn't find a solution to do so for column headers. 
We can manually rename them in data manager window , if its a one time thing
