You may want to try out simple function I posted on another thread related to reading date value from excel sheet.

It simply takes text from the cell as input and gives DateTime as output.

I would be happy to see improvement in my sample code provided for benefit of the .Net development community.

Perhaps you could try using the DateTime FromOADate method to convert between Excel and  net

Alternatively  if your cell is already a real date  just use  Value instead of  Value2   excelApp Range namedRange  Value  21 02 2013 00 00 00      Date   21 02 2013 00 00 00      Day  21     DayOfWeek  Thursday     DayOfYear  52     Hour  0     Kind  Unspecified     Millisecond  0     Minute  0     Month  2     Second  0     Ticks  634970016000000000     TimeOfDay   00 00 00      Year  2013  excelApp Range namedRange  Value2 41326 0

You need to convert the date format from OLE Automation to the  net format by using DateTime FromOADate   double d   double Parse b   DateTime conv   DateTime FromOADate d

Or you can simply use OleDbDataAdapter to get data from Excel

Another option  when cell type is unknown at compile time and cell is formatted as Date Range Value returns a desired DateTime object    public static DateTime  GetAsDateTimeOrDefault Range cell        object cellValue   cell Value      if  cellValue is DateTime result                return result            return null
