Solution 1

It's most likely due to the regional settings. Convert the source value to a DateTime object, and use the Value2 property on the Excel range.

C#

oSheet.Range(EE).Value2 = Convert.ToDateTime(DgvChequeData.Item("Maturity", RNO).Value)

5ed!
It should help as well. On the other side, the reason might be in NumberFormat of Excel cell.

Solution 2

You have to check the number format for Excel's cells.

Range.NumberFormat property (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel)[^]
Range.NumberFormat Property (Excel)[^]

For example:

VB.NET

'changes format of cell to store any data as a text.
oSheet.Range(EE).NumberFormat = "@"

oSheet.Range(EE).Value = DgvChequeData.Item("Maturity", RNO).Value
