title: Exporting XML from Excel and Keeping Date Format
body: <p>Many StackOverflow posts and other online forums have questions similar to this, but none of them really resolve the issue I'm having.</p>
  
  <p>I'm exporting an XML file from Excel. The Excel file contains dates. In the XML file, however, those dates show up as integers--the date is made to be the nth day since 1/0/1900, I believe.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using JavaScript to extract the data from the XML file to populate a table in a web page.</p>
  
  <p>I suspect that a solution could come in two different forms:
  1. A way to convert, in JavaScript, the integer to the date it represents.
  2. A way to force the XML file to take a formatted date from the Excel file.</p>
  
  <p>I'm clearly a novice with XML and JavaScript, so your assistance would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.</p>
