I am using openxml to read excel sheets. There i have some columns of datetime type. But when I read date column it shows me value converted in some other format that is not detectable as datetime. Can anybody help me in detecting datetime column, when reading excel file using open xml?

Solution 1

Excel dates and times are stored as floating point values where the integer portion is the number of days since the epoch, and the decimal portion is the number of seconds past midnight. See this link[^] (and many others) for details.
