Good Day. I use PhpSpreadsheet's library to import xlsx.
In The column I in xlsx I have this value 20/10/1970 00:00:00 displaying like 1970-10-20 00:00:00 but when I import it:
$dataArray = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()
->rangeToArray(
'A2:AO3', // The worksheet range that we want to retrieve
NULL, // Value that should be returned for empty cells
NULL, // Should formulas be calculated (the equivalent of getCalculatedValue() for each cell)
TRUE, // Should values be formatted (the equivalent of getFormattedValue() for each cell)
TRUE // Should the array be indexed by cell row and cell column
);
I receive strange ["I"] => float(25861) Please Help me to get Carbon data in this field.
If I try to convert this float like a timestamp I receive 01/01/1970 not 10/20/1970
Other date I receive like ["J"] => float(43195.4092014)
In Excel dates are not the same as in other software/programming languages.
Excel counts from 1900-01-01 unlike UNIX that counts from 1970-01-01.
The number returned is a float value of the number of days from 1900-01-01, and the fraction of the float is the time of the day.
As an example 25861.5 is 1970-10-20 12:00 ("Y-m-d h.i").
To convert to UNIX you should take the returned value - 25569 (1970-01-01 in Excel) and multiply with 86400 (one day in seconds).
See here:

In Excel if you format 25861 and 25569 as dates:
The other float you got 43195.4092013889
echo date("Y-m-d h:i", (43195.4092013889-25569)*86400); //2018-04-05 11:49 (mind the timezones)

Another way to solve that feature is getting the active sheet from our object PHPSpreadSheet and change the style as follows:
$sheet = $PhpSpreadSheetObject->getActiveSheet();
$sheet->getStyle("A1:Z1")->getNumberFormat()->setFormatCode("YYYY-MM-DD");

i will provide this specific code.
i first convert the excel file to array of object in php.
in the excell file i have 2022/08/08 format and when i insert it to database it gives me this value
44824
and i convert this 44824 using this code
gmdate("Y-m-d", ($arr['excelDatas'][0]['date_hired'] - 25569) * 86400)
just ignore the $arr['excelDatas'][0]['date_hired'] - this is just the value
this is the result 2022-09-20
as you can see the date in excell is different to the converted one
2022/08/08 != 2022-09-20
where did i fall short?
guys. I have dates at DB as strings "d/m/Y".
When I put this dates into Excel, it shows me normal dates like 03/10/2000, but when I click on the cell, it show me the value '03/10/2000. So, the value is string, and not date as required for me.
So, I transformed the date from DB to a PHP date object and get sure with var_dump that date is Date object with that code :
$date = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y', $array[$i-20]['Date']);
$date->format('m/d/Y');
but anyway, the values in generated .xls are with ' before value.
Why it appears and how can I solve it ?
MS Excel stores dates as a serialized timestamp, the number of days since 1st January 1900 (or 1st January 1904 if using the Mac calendar). To store a value as a date (and not simply as a string), you need to convert your string date to a serialized timestamp, and then set the format mask for the cell.
$date = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y', $array[$i-20]['Date']);
$excelDate = PHPExcel_Shared_Date::PHPToExcel($date);
Set $excelDate as the cell value
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('C11', $excelDate );
and then apply the format mask to that cell
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
->getStyle('C11')
->getNumberFormat()
->setFormatCode(PHPExcel_Style_NumberFormat::FORMAT_DATE_YYYYMMDD2);
The 02types.php example script in the `/Examples` folder demonstrates this
EDIT
You can (and it's more efficient to) apply a style to a range of cells: just specify the range in the getStyle() call.
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
->getStyle('C11:C200')
->getNumberFormat()
->setFormatCode(PHPExcel_Style_NumberFormat::FORMAT_DATE_YYYYMMDD2);
To get details of available format: PHPExcel has a number of pre-defined formats built-in, and those can be found as constants in Classes/PHPExcel/Style/NumberFormat.php. However, you're not limited to that set of formats; and (in the same way that MS Excel lets you define "custom" formats) you can simply pass a string defining the format (e.g. "d-mmm-yyyy") using pretty much any of the rules that can be used for MS Excel number format masks as the format
I am trying to format a PHP date() object into a format that Excel can read as a date rather than as a string.
$row[] = PHPExcel_Shared_Date::PHPToExcel(date('d-m-y', strtotime($worksheet_one_job['Job']['date_of_order'])));
$worksheet_one->fromArray($row, NULL, $columnID.$rowID);
The format of the field $worksheet_one_job['Job']['date_of_order'] in the database is DateTime (2016-06-28 00:00:00)
When I check this in Excel it prints nothing at all, any ideas how I can set the cell as a date format that Excel can read rather than as a string?
I'm having an issue while I'm trying to read cell value with $cell->getCalculatedValue() of a DateTime cell.
The excel file value is 28/2/15 (in format d/m/y) but I get 42063.
Is this a problem with the format? If it is, how I can solve it?
MS Excel date/time values are a float, not a formatted string, or any other special datatype; and it's only the number formatting mask that differentiates them from any other float
getCalculatedValue() will handle any formulae, but won't apply any formatting, so you'll simply get the float value back
however
getFormattedValue() will calculate any formula for the cell, but also apply any number formatting mask, so a "date" will be returned as a formatted string dependent on the number format mask for that cell
EDIT
The formatted string returned is dependent on the number format mask used.... unfortunately some MS Excel date format masks are locale aware, but PHPExcel is not, so if the cell uses one of these masks then the result may not be formatted as you'd want.
You can apply manual formatting for a cell value, using a format mask of your choice:
$result = PHPExcel_Style_NumberFormat::toFormattedString(
$cell->getCalculatedValue(),
PHPExcel_Style_NumberFormat::FORMAT_DATE_DDMMYYYY
);
or
$result = PHPExcel_Style_NumberFormat::toFormattedString(
$cell->getCalculatedValue(),
'dd/mm/yy'
);
Alternatively, you can convert that MS Excel serialized timestamp to a unix timestamp using
$result = PHPExcel_Shared_Date::ExcelToPHP(
$cell->getCalculatedValue()
);
or to a PHP DateTime object
$result = PHPExcel_Shared_Date::ExcelToPHPObject(
$cell->getCalculatedValue()
);
and then use normal PHP date() or DateTime::format() masking to format it however you want
EDIT #2
To identify if a cell contains a date:
if (PHPExcel_Shared_Date::isDateTime($cell)) {
echo 'Cell ', $cell->getCoordinate(), ' contains a date value';
}
I'm trying to use this class to import a large amount of data. Most of the data is being read correctly, however I have two date columns which are giving me problems.
The dates are in the format DD/MM/YYYY and the values returned are one day ahead of those in the spreadsheet. For example, 04/03/2011 00:00 becomes 04/03/2011 02:00
I have tried accessing the data like this:
$data->sheets[$sheet]['cells'][$row][$col];
I have also tried using the raw data:
$data->sheets[$sheet]['cellsInfo'][$row][$col]['raw']
Which returns the date as a unix timestamp but still it is one day ahead of what it should be.
Is there any way I can force the class to return the value of the column as a simple string?
The solution is simple - why don't you just deduct a day from the timestamp, or from the date you fetch?
$wrongDateTimestamp = "1304398800";
$rightDateTimestamp = strtotime("-1 day", $wrongDateTimeStamp); // Or alternatively - $wrongDateTimeStam - 86400
$rightDate = date("d/m/Y", $rightDateTimestamp);
Hope this helps.Shai.
