)

Parameters

excelDate

The Microsoft Excel date format which should be converted to a DateTime.

Remarks

When using the 1900 date system in Excel, dates before 3/1/1900 must be corrected, because Excel incorrectly assumes 1900 is a leap year. This overload assumes the 1900 date system is being used as so it corrects the date values.
