I'm using Apachi POI 3.9 to process excel sheet. I've set the cell value as "12/2/1990". But when i set the cell value as Java Date instance, it was not properly set. when i open the file i found cell's format has been changed to General. How Can i set Date values (MM/dd/yyyy)in a Cell as Excel Date ??

I have a excel sheet with the custom format value 24-09-2019. Some versions of excel sheet supports this format. If the dd-mm-yyyy format is present in the excel sheet the cell type is numeric.
If it is not present then the cell type is string. I need to get the value from the cell.
I use a 3rd party plugin (SheetJS) to dynamically create a excel file. It has columns of dates such as
2019-07-29 04:12:44 PM
If I format it as a table, the problem is excel does not recognize it as a date column, so I only get "Text Filter" as an option. But I noticed that if I copy the date value, pasted in notepad, and then copy from there, and paste back into excel, and then format as table, it recognizes it as a date column showing "Date Filter".
Is there a quick way to do this right in excel?
Thanks
In your SheetJS script, try to manually set your column width to 17 characters using format:
yyymmdd hh:mm:ss
This will create a 17 character value. This will also tell SheetJS that your column defined is a date column and not plain text.

I have several Macros running at once in a file. The output pastes unique dates from B1:Z1 on the next sheet. The dates right now are pasting as ex. 43619 instead of 6/3/2019. I have been troubleshooting this but everything I have found is a whole column instead of rows. Thanks!
To Excel a Date is a number(the number of days since 1/1/1900). The number is formatted to look like a date.
If you are just pasting the values the format is not following and as such the value is reverted to the number.
To apply the formatting just use:
Worksheet("Sheet1").Range("B1:Z1").NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"
Changing the sheet name to your desired sheet and the number format to the format desired.
I am new to Excel vba.. Currently working on creating macro for internal purpose where i manipulating the Date in that.
Currently i am Entering the date in Text Box and further then converted to date in required format using known function "cell.numberformat="dd.mm.yyyy"".
However still date is displayed as per local setting say "11/22/2018" in the formula bar instead of displaying "22.11.2018"
problem we further import the excel to SAP, there it assumes date format from formula bar and hence its not recognized in our SAP system.
Could you please let us know is there an any way to have date format same in column as well as in Formula bar.
The date format dd.mm.yyyy is not recognised as a date by Excel. You would have therefore to change the contents of the cell to a string representation of the date. This would mess up any formulas that were doing any calculations on those dates (such as number of days btweeen dates etc). If you want to go down this route then this macro will convert all selected cells into text with the desired formula:
Sub ConvertDates
Dim r as range
For each r in selection
r.formula = format(r.value,"dd.mm.yyyy")
next r
end sub
I am using Apache POI 3.9 for parsing excel file.
In one of the cell which I am trying to read 'Name' has been used in the formula specified for this cell (formula is sum of value at name cell + value of current cell). These names have been defined in 'Name manager' of excel.
When I am trying to read this value via POI I am getting 'circular`ref'.
Can anyone please advise me on how to read the value of the formula cell where 'name' is used?
Thanks
