How to set Column Type when using EPPlus

Question

I\'m using EPPlus to generate Excel files, in DAL I\'m populating DataTable, filling data into table, and passing table to Presentation La

Answer 1

You do need the DataTable column to have the right type but you also need to modify the column or cell's Style.Numberformat.Format property.

Say you have an ExcelWorksheet named ws:

ws.Column(1).Style.Numberformat.Format  = "yyyy-mm-dd"; 
//OR "yyyy-mm-dd h:mm" if you want to include the time!
