Hi,

Thank you for considering Aspose.

Well, after further looking into your issue we believe that it is a behavior of MS Excel in case you set the NumberFormat = 15 (d-mmm-yy). If you manually set the dateformat as ‘d-mmm-yy’ using the Date Format in MS Excel and then select the custom format, it will show the format as ‘[$-409]d-mmm-yy;@’. So, MS Excel displays NumberFormat =15 as Custom as it sets the format as ‘d-mmm-yy’ and not ‘[$-409]d-mmm-yy;@’.

Thank You & Best Regards,

Hi,

Well, for your need, you may try to use Custom date formatting, see the following sample code:
e.g
Workbook wb = new Workbook();
wb.Worksheets.Clear();
Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets.Add(“New”);
Style style = wb.Styles[wb.Styles.Add()];
style.Name = “DateStyle”;
style.Custom = “dd-mmm-yyyy”;
ws.Cells[0, 0].PutValue(DateTime.Now);
ws.Cells[0, 0].SetStyle(style);
ws.AutoFitColumn(0);
wb.Save(@“e:\test\customdate.xls”);

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for considering Aspose.

Also, to show Category as Date, you may set Style.Custom = “[$-409]dd-mmm-yy;@” to get your deisred result. Please see the following sample code in this regard:

Workbook wb = new Workbook();

wb.Worksheets.Clear();

Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets.Add("New");

Style style = wb.Styles[wb.Styles.Add()];

style.Name = "DateStyle";

style.Custom = "[$-409]dd-mmm-yy;@";

ws.Cells[0, 0].PutValue(DateTime.Now);

ws.Cells[0, 0].SetStyle(style);

ws.AutoFitColumn(0);

wb.Save(@"C:\Test_Temp\customdate.xls");

Thank You & Best Regards,
