module ConvertDateTime # # The function takes a date and time in ISO8601 "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.ss" format # and converts it to a decimal number representing a valid Excel date. # # Dates and times in Excel are represented by real numbers.

The epoch can be either 1900 or # 1904. # # Parameter: Date and time string in one of the following formats: # yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.ss # Standard # yyyy-mm-ddT # Date only # Thh:mm:ss.ss # Time only # # Returns: # A decimal number representing a valid Excel date, or # undef if the date is invalid. # def convert_date_time(date_time_string, date_1904 = false) #:nodoc: date_time = date_time_string days = 0 # Number of days since epoch seconds = 0 # Time expressed as fraction of 24h hours in seconds # Strip leading and trailing whitespace. date_time.sub!(/^\s+/, '') date_time.sub!(/\s+$/, '') # Check for invalid date char. return nil if date_time =~ /[^0-9T:\-\.Z]/ # Check for "T" after date or before time. return nil unless date_time =~ /\dT|T\d/ # Strip trailing Z in ISO8601 date. date_time.sub!(/Z$/, '') # Split into date and time. date, time = date_time.split(/T/) # We allow the time portion of the input DateTime to be optional. if time # Match hh:mm:ss.sss+ where the seconds are optional if time =~ /^(\d\d):(\d\d)(:(\d\d(\.\d+)?))?/ hour = $1.to_i min = $2.to_i sec = $4.to_f || 0 else return nil # Not a valid time format. end # Some boundary checks return nil if hour >= 24 return nil if min >= 60 return nil if sec >= 60 # Excel expresses seconds as a fraction of the number in 24 hours. seconds = (hour * 60* 60 + min * 60 + sec) / (24.0 * 60 * 60) end # We allow the date portion of the input DateTime to be optional. return seconds if date == '' # Match date as yyyy-mm-dd. if date =~ /^(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)$/ year = $1.to_i month = $2.to_i day = $3.to_i else return nil # Not a valid date format. end # Set the epoch as 1900 or 1904.
