SpreadJS does not honor excel visualization

    Hi,

    We have a document and the column has the following values:

    Target 1
    Actual 1
    In Compliance? 1
    

    However, the column has a format of “Date” with type “14-Mar”, excel properly shows the listed values above, however, after converting excel to SpreadJS with the JS converter, it is reading the values as dates, which is incorrect, so the values change to:

    1-Jan
    1-Jan
    1-Jan
    
    ```.
    
    See a screenshot with the document opened in excel on the left-hand side, and the same doc converted to SpreadJS on the right.

    Here the sample excel file zipped.
    [zip filename="test.xlsx.zip"]https://gccontent.blob.core.windows.net/forum-uploads/file-ff77a839-40b9-42ca-acc3-764c3aaa1d00.zip[/zip]
    
    Is there a way to correct this behavior, please?
    
    Thanks,

    Hi Sharad,

    Thanks for looking into this.

    We would like to know if there is an update on this fix. Our customer is highly concerned since this problem gives them the impression that their data is not properly preserved and they can not see the content as it was in their Excel spreadsheets. Is there an ETA?

    Thanks,
