Hi again,
This is to update you that we have looked further into the matter logged earlier as CELLSJAVA-42170. Please note, it is the limitation of Excel application that it can only allow date time values starting from 1900-1-1. Please note, if you have any spreadsheet that shows date before than 1900-1-1 it is actually a string value. You can confirm this by changing the format of the cell to General. In case of valid date values, it will be converted to numeric value because Excel stores dates and times as a number representing the number of days since 1900-Jan-0, plus a fractional portion of a 24 hour day: ddddd.tttttt . This is called a serial date, or serial date-time. The integer portion of the number, ddddd, represents the number of days since 1900-Jan-0.
That said, Aspose.Cells APIs follow Excel’s guidelines and specifications in its processes therefore we have to close the ticket CELLSJAVA-42170 as Won’t Fix. Thank you for your understanding.
