Hi there,

I'm using this data logger:

http://www.omega.com/pptst/OM-CP-PRTEMP101.html

 

Date time comes out of this device as this:

39400.82848 when I paste it to excel and change cell format to date/time this is what I get:

11/14/2007  7:53:01 PM. Does anyone know about this format? How do I convert this number to actual date/time? Device's manual says that date and time are stamped. I'm not sure what it means.

 

Please help. Thanks a lot!

sounds like day number since the epoch plus fractional days.

 

You are indeed a genius! First number is the number of days since December 30, 1899 - Microsoft Excel's epoch date and the second number after the dot is a fractional number of seconds (0.864 seconds per digit). Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction!
