What I&amp;#39;d like to do is to have a form that retrieves some values from a published Excel workbook.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve added the data connections (SOAP) to the form and I&amp;#39;m able to retrieve values (GetCellA1 operation). However there is currently one problem that I can&amp;#39;t seem to figure out. The Excel workbook has a cell with date value in it. When this value is retrieved to the Infopath form, it shows up as a 5-digit integer. This integer is equal to the cell&amp;#39;s value formatted as General in the Excel workbook. For example: if date is 12/22/2014, then the integer is 41995, and 41995 is what shows up in the Infopath form. I&amp;#39;ve made sure the field has been set to Date format.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can anyone land a hand? Thanks! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
