Convert date from excel in number format to date format python [duplicate]

Answer 1

The module xlrd provides a function xldate_as_tuple to convert Excel's numerical date format to a tuple (year, month, day, hour, minute, nearest_second).

You can then use datetime.datetime to convert the tuple into a datetime-object.

from datetime import datetime
import xlrd

excel_date = 44032
python_date = datetime(*xlrd.xldate_as_tuple(excel_date, 0))
