Duration cells are read with TimeSpan.FromDays(number), which truncates to whole ticks on .NET Core and .NET 5+. Many whole-second values come back one tick short:

11 s -> 00:00:10.9999999

so ts.Seconds or formatting to hh:mm:ss shows one second less than Excel. On a sheet of 5600 [h]:mm:ss durations (1 s to about 55 h), 1541 came back like this through Query; the DateTime cells in the same rows were exact, because DateTime.FromOADate rounds to milliseconds. TimeSpan cells now round the same way.

TimeSpanKeepsWholeSeconds (export 11 s, query it back) fails without the change. dotnet test tests/MiniExcel.OpenXml.Tests passes (546). The 5600-row sheet: 1541 off before, 0 after.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed Excel time values imported as durations to retain whole-second precision.

TimeSpan.FromDays truncates to whole ticks, so a duration cell of
11 seconds was read as 00:00:10.9999999. DateTime cells already round
to milliseconds through FromOADate.

Walkthrough

TimeSpan-formatted numeric values now convert to durations rounded to the nearest millisecond. A test checks that importing an exported 11-second duration preserves its value.

Changes: TimeSpan import

TimeSpan conversion and import test
src/MiniExcel.OpenXml/Styles/OpenXmlStyles.cs, tests/MiniExcel.OpenXml.Tests/Main/MiniExcelOpenXmlImporterTests.cs
The conversion rounds the Excel day fraction to a whole millisecond. The test exports an 11-second TimeSpan, imports it with a header row, and checks the result.

Imported durations now read back as whole seconds instead of one tick short, which fixes the reported formatting problem. Durations smaller than half a millisecond now import as zero, which is a minor precision trade-off. This is mergeable with that trade-off acknowledged.

Explanation

The title names the main change: imported TimeSpan values are now rounded to milliseconds, matching how dates are handled. The raw summary confirms that ConvertValueByStyleFormat rounds the Excel day fraction to the nearest millisecond before building the TimeSpan, and the objectives state the same intent. The added TimeSpanKeepsWholeSeconds test covers the 11-second case. The title is specific and concise, and it has no file lists or vague wording.

Classify custom duration formats as TimeSpan? in the numFmts loop.

This gap predates this PR, and the PR does not change it. The numFmts loop gives each custom format string, and DateTime? only when DateTimeHelper.IsDateTimeFormat matches. No custom format receives TimeSpan?, so custom duration codes such as [h]:mm:ss with ID 164 or higher never reach the new millisecond rounding. Their values come back as raw numbers or as dates, depending on the date check.

Add a duration check in this loop that assigns typeof(TimeSpan?) before the date check, so duration codes do not fall through to DateTime?. Track this as a follow-up. It is separate from the rounding change in this PR.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Preserve sub-millisecond duration values.

A cell with built-in format 46 and a value of 0.0000000011574074074074074 days represents 100 microseconds. This conversion rounds it to zero, although the previous conversion retained its ticks. Importing and re-exporting such values silently loses data. Correct floating-point artifacts near whole milliseconds without rounding every duration to a millisecond.
