Possible Values
SerialNumber, FormattedStringData Type
string
Default Value
"SerialNumber"
Remarks
| SerialNumber | Instructs the driver to output date, time, datetime, and duration fields as doubles in "serial number" format, as popularized by Lotus 1-2-3. The whole number portion of the value (left of the decimal) counts the days since December 30th 1899. The fractional portion (right of the decimal) counts the time as a fraction of the day. For example, January 1st 1900 at noon would be 2.5, 2 because it's 2 days after December 30st, 1899, and .5 because noon is half a day. February 1st, 1900 at 3pm would be 33.625. This correctly treats the year 1900 as not a leap year. |
| FormattedString | Instructs the driver to output date, time, datetime, and duration fields as strings in their given number format (which is dependent on the spreadsheet locale). |
