The code of var is the follow:
java.util.GregorianCalendar(1900, java.util.Calendar.JANUARY,1).add(java.util.Calendar.DATE, java.lang.Integer.parseInt(row3.DeliveryAttributSetDate)-1).
When I execute the followinf error appeare:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
java.util cannot be resolved to a type
at projectName.testconvertexceldate_0_1.testConvertExcelDate.tFileInputExcel_1Process(testConvertExcelDate.java:5445)

Hello,
What format is your Excel date?
With the TalendDate.parseDate() function you should be able to convert your date.

Hello,
I think that your var was missing a "new" declaration.

I am still working on a better way myself but in the mean time try this:

     */    
    public static Date ExcelDateParse(int ExcelDate){
        Date result = null;
        try{
            GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(1900, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
            gc.add(Calendar.DATE, ExcelDate - 1);
            result = gc.getTime();
        } catch(RuntimeException e1) {}
        return result;
    }

    public static String ExcelTimeParse(String ExcelDate){
        String result = "";
        try{
            DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss a");
            format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
            double frac = Double.parseDouble(ExcelDate);
            long day = (long) Math.floor(frac);
            frac = frac - day;
            Date time = new Date((long) ( 86400000l * frac));
            result =  format.format(time);
