How to convert a date coming in Excel under number format showing like 43918 to date?

Team, I am receiving from Excel a date format showing like: 43918 instead of dd/mm/yyyy format.

Has any of you faced this before and how to fix it without going back to the Excel and selecting the option of ShortDate?

Thanks to all!

Dates in excel are serial numbers, essentially 43918 is the number of days since the beginning of time, which for Excel starts at 1900-01-01. So you can add 43918 days to the date 1900-01-01 to arrive at the correct date of 2020-03-29.

The date calendar in Excel starts on January 1st, 1900 . As far as Excel is concerned this day starts the beginning of time.

Guys, we found out the solution. We used following nodes:

Number to String and then String to Date.

It was really simple after all. Thanks for the help though.

@bve let me know if this here helps.

Regards.
