Date time values from Excel not formatting correctly on report

Former Member

Hi,

We have encountered an interesting problem while working with Xcelsius 2008 SP2 pertaining to date time formatting. We have setup a dashboard report that holds a date in a cell in the Excel sheet which is then linked to a label in the report.

The dates value is (in general format): 39465.08333

If one were to format the cell that holds this value one will see that Excel formats the date as "18/01/2008 02:00:00 AM" (or in whichever date format is applicable).

If one were to then add a label to the report and link the label to this cell (displaying "18/01/2008 02:00:00 AM") and set the label to use the cell formatting then one would see that the value represented is "18/01/2008 01:59:60 AM".

If one were to apply their own "time" formatting to the label then the time will still display as "01:59:60 AM"

Now the problem is that it is display 1:59:60 instead of 2:00:00. How can I get around this? Am i missing a particular setting or is there a shortcoming in the software?

Thanks,

Anton Bosch

This issue is not reproducible in SP3. Consider upgrading to SP3.
