Date formatting allows the user to customize how dates will be displayed on the worksheet. Excel Connector distinguishes three two types of dates:

  • date without time,

  • date with time,

  • date with time and timezone.

Each of date types have specific rules and acquires specific data to process. The user can customize this dates in by providing a pattern with given format. This pattern will be used each time an application need to render a specific date. If the user provides the wrong pattern, the application will not process the save step and a specific input will be marked with red border and error icon.

...

In this case, the last saved date format will be displayed in worksheet.
