Resolution

  1. Add the line of code in bold to the ParseCellValue function in table 370 - Excel Buffer:  
     
    IF ((STRPOS(FormatString,'y') <> 0) OR  
    (STRPOS(FormatString,'m') <> 0) OR  
    (STRPOS(FormatString,'d') <> 0)) AND  
    (STRPOS(FormatString,'Red') = 0)  
    THEN BEGIN  
    // Excel Date is stored in OATime format  
    Decimal += 0.5; // Add time offset to help FromOADate select the correct date.  
    DateTime := DateTimeHelper.FromOADate(Decimal);  
    "Cell Type" := "Cell Type"::Date;  
    "Cell Value as Text" := FORMAT(DT2DATE(DateTime));  
    EXIT;  
    END;
