Excel is not storing exact date. Preserving last day

[uchakula13]

Hi,
I am using SheetJs and trying to store date into excel sheet. I noticed the date records are storing incorrectly,
Ex - when i try to store 04-05-2022 , it is storing 04-04-2022. It is missing 1 day and storing previous date.
Am using latest version 0.18.5 . Please advise

Can you share an example file and your system timezone?

This is an old issue...

Is not one day left, ist just a few seconds left
For example 20/12/2021 00:00:00 is export as 19/12/2021 23:59:12

My timezone is -3

a simple example to reproduce:

    const exportData = [
      { date: new Date('2021/12/20 00:00:00'), name: 'Peter' },
      { date: new Date('2021/12/30 18:30:00'), name: 'Jhon' },
    ]

    const wb: XLSX.WorkBook = XLSX.utils.book_new();
    const ws: XLSX.WorkSheet = XLSX.utils.json_to_sheet(exportData, { dateNF: 'dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm:ss' });

    ws['!cols'] = [{ wch: 30 }, { wch: 30 }];

    XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, 'Data');
    XLSX.writeFile(wb, 'data.xlsx');

date	name
19/12/2021 23:59:12	Peter
30/12/2021 18:29:12	Jhon

I'm also using version 0.18.5 and see the same issue in India Standard Time zone. It looks like 10 seconds is being subtracted off of the time.

Date in Excel File: 7/5/2023

Result after XLSX.read:
{
"t": "d",
"v": "2023-07-04T18:29:50.000Z",
"z": "m/d/yy"
}
