How do i convert this excel dataserial value 41225 back to date format 12-Nov-2012 using phpexcel and code igniter?
I have tried the following but it didn’t work.
$G74 = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B6')->getValue();
Using the getFormattedValue() method rather than getValue() might help if the cell has a format mask that formats it as a date. getValue() returns a raw value, which (in this case) is the Excel serialized number.
Otherwise, the ExcelToPHP() or ExcelToPHPObject() methods in the PHPExcel_Shared_Date class should do the job of returning a unix timestamp or a PHP DateTime object that you can then format however you wish
