Excel date : 43831 format to convert in date

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

 

i need to convert a date excel value into a date to store it on a SP list

the value i get from Excel is 43831. 

 

I can't change the excel format date in Excel directly because it's a Excel extracted from a application managed by another team. 

 

How can i convert 43831 value to real date like 20/01/2020 ? 

 

Many thanks

    @Anonymous Excel stores dates as integers. Assuming you are looping through the excel spreadsheet to get the date,  add a compose control and then add the expression:

    formatDateTime(addDays('1900-01-01',add(int(items('Apply_to_each')?['Date']),-2)),'yyyy-MM-dd')

    where Date is the date column in my excel spreadsheet
