I have a PowerApp which is connected to Excel (OneDrive Business).
I want to write some Data to a table.
The problem are the DateTime.
If I choose for example "07.03.2021 01:00" in the DatePicker/TimePicker the "correct?" format is created für the Update-Field (I didn't change anything in the Update Formula).
But in Excel is a funny number written: 1615075200000
I tryed to format the cells in Excel as Datetime, number, text ... before writing to the cell/table nothing helps.
For some times (see ID's 1-8 in Excel screenshot) there was a datetime wrote, I don't know why.
What I have to change that the right datetime will be written to Excel, and the datetime should be displayed in excel as "07.03.2021 01:00"
I believe it's excel cells date-time format.
I am doing exactly as your example and the date-time updated in excel with the correct format.
Please check the below screenshots
Can you verify the Excel sheet date format?

So I am exporting some information as excel document.
The issue I'm facing is that in Excel the actual data field containing the date is recognised as general data and I would like it to be recognised as Date.
If I double-click on the date field and click outside of it, only then it will convert it to Date.

Image2
The first 2 fields in the second image are Date format(after double-clicking on them).
How can I make this by default so the user will have the data as Excel Date without having to do anything.
This is how I am formatting the date to my requirments:
item.documentDate = new Date().toLocaleDateString('en-US');
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I have a excel file that automatically imports data from an Oracle DB into the sheet. Everything works fine, but date formatting is wrong. In the Oracle DB, the format is 01-JAN-2016. But when it exports to Excel, the format suddenly changes to 1/1/2016.
Is there a good solution to this? Setting the cell format beforehand doesn't work. Once the data is imported, Excel automatically switches format to Date. I have tried a lot but can not solve this issue so I am wondering if any of you have ideas as to what to do. Thanks.
The date isn't stored in "01-JAN-2016" format, that's just a representation of the underlying date value.
The recordset contains the data, not its representation. Format the column with a NumberFormat like dd-mmm-yyyy, and 2016/01/01 will look like 01-JAN-2016.
I am working on Protege 5.0 with the plugin Celfie. I have imported an excel sheet which has a column Start_Time (datatype dateTime). When i import the excel sheet into protege, it converts the rows from dateTime format to a string or some other data type. I want to use that column for a data property having the data type DateTime.
I have attached screenshots of both my excel sheet and the celfie tab. Any help would be appreciated.

The issue is actually a formatting issue in Protege. In Excel, date times are stored as floats, with the integer representing the date and the decimals representing the time.
39448 is 01/01/2008 (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/DATEVALUE-function-df8b07d4-7761-4a93-bc33-b7471bbff252); since the results you're getting in Protege are similar, those seem to be the raw date time values.
You need to convert them in Protege, either by using an informat when you pull them from Excel, or by formatting them in Protege in the same manner that Excel would.
I have a report that uses a single query as record source to generate a report.
I am exporting that report into Excel with following code
DoCmd.OutputTo ObjectType:=acOutputReport, ObjectName:=strReport, OutputFormat:=acFormatXLS, outputfile:=strpath & strTempFile, AutoStart:=False
All the data in the report is correct except for date, where date format is displayed as Genereal Number (Not sure which format)
Any help is appricaited.
Thanks.
Excel is displaying the date to you in the way excel 'sees it', rather than in a user friendly date format.
In excel, every date has a value that is a number. This allows excel to perform calculations/do things with dates (example - checking the days between two dates).
If you reformat your excel doc (right click on a random date and click format and then change to date) you'll probably find you have the correct date exported.
Probably haven't answered your question, but if you're just doing a data dump then you may not need to export the formatting (because you can just simply show the date in date format on your report).
The mysql table has a DATETIME field. I want to INSERT a new row into this field using the cell data from the Excel worksheet. But I cannot use the datetime formatted cell value in a INSERT INTO query. How can I implement this?
Clarifying how you are using VBA would be helpful, but assuming that you are using VBA primarily to bring the data up to MySQL, you can handle a lot of your formatting right in your Excel workbook. For DATE type data,
=TEXT([the data],"YYYYMMDD")
is effective.
For DATETIME type data,
=TEXT([the data],"YYYYMMDDHHMMSS")
gets interpreted correctly at import by MySQL.
Hope that helps!
You could create a custom format that represents the datetime in the correct way.
