Dates in Charts are exporting as Serial numbers instead of date format

I am converting charts in XLSX file opened with Aspose.Cells and converting to an image and importing into my DOCX file using Aspose.Words. When getting the chart collection and converting to a bitmap the dates at the bottom of the chart change into serial numbers.

Code Excerpt

//oLoadExcel is my Excel workbook loaded into Aspose.Cells.Workbook

// AsposeExportChart is defined below code excerpt

...

   	   	    oLoadedExcel.AsposeExportChart(sec.ChartWorksheet, chartfilename, sec.ChartTitle);
 
                    System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLineIf(_bDebug, sec.ChartTitle + " exported.");
                    if (Convert.ToBoolean(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ImportChartFromFileToDocx"]))
                    {
                        //Aspose.Words.Document oChart = new Aspose.Words.Document(baseChartPath + @"\" + psTimeFolder + @"\" + sec.ChartTitle.Replace("'", string.Empty).Replace(@"\", string.Empty).Replace("/", string.Empty).Replace("&", string.Empty).Replace(" ", string.Empty) + "." + "docx");
                        Aspose.Words.Document oChart = new Aspose.Words.Document();

Hi,


Could you try our latest version/fix: v6.0.1.9 if it works.

If you still find the issue, kindly attach your template XLSX file (containing the chart(s)) and output image(s). We will check your issue soon.

Thank you
