Answer 1

Formart the data before you read it.

For example:

cell data 2020/10/13 19:00:00

Access directly will get 44117.791666667

$sheet->toArray();

Format before access will get 2020-10-13 19:00:00

$row_num = $sheet->getHighestDataRow();
$sheet->getStyle("H1:H$row_num")->applyFromArray(array("numberFormat"=>array("formatCode"=>'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'))); // H is the datatime row
$sheet->toArray();
