RE: Dates in Excel

Hopefully this will help you out, Steve.

I don't remember if I developed this in the likeness of Scott's routines, or
if it's his. I think I wrote these since I was unable to locate examples at
that time. But we'll give Scott the credit. Unless it's broken. Then
we'll blame someone else (not me!). :)

I am trying to read a date from an excel spreadsheet using HSSF. I found
Scott Klements Parsing An Excel Spreadsheet, Part 2: Handling Dates but
the page is no longer valid.

Can someone post how to handle dates? The date in the spread sheet is in
mm/dd/yy format.

Thanks
