A TimeSpan of a day or more is exported through GetDateTimeValue, so it gets the date style (numFmtId 14) and Excel shows TimeSpan.FromHours(36.25) as 1/1/1900. Shorter ones get h:mm:ss (21), which also wraps at 24 hours. Durations over a day are normal in time tracking totals and job or call durations.

Every TimeSpan is now written as its day fraction with the built-in [h]:mm:ss format (46), in both style builders. The reader already maps 46 to TimeSpan, so these now round-trip as TimeSpan instead of DateTime. The ExcelZeroDate constant was only used for this and is removed.

Exporting 36:15 and 1:30:30, cell formats before: 14 and 21; after: 46 and 46. TimeSpanOfADayOrMoreStaysADuration fails without the change (the value comes back as DateTime). dotnet test tests/MiniExcel.OpenXml.Tests passes (546).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Durations of one day or longer are now preserved as durations when exporting and importing spreadsheets, rather than being converted to dates.
  • Updated the built-in time-duration format so these values display consistently.

Walkthrough

The style builders now use number format ID 46 for time durations. The writer serializes durations of at least one day as numeric total days. A test round-trips a 36.25-hour duration through export and import.

Changes: TimeSpan duration serialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Time format IDs src/MiniExcel.OpenXml/Styles/Builder/DefaultSheetStyleBuilder.cs, src/MiniExcel.OpenXml/Styles/Builder/MinimalSheetStyleBuilder.cs	The fixed-format and minimal style builders use number format ID 46 for the time-duration cell format.
Duration output and round-trip test src/MiniExcel.OpenXml/Writer/OpenXmlWriter.XmlGeneration.cs, tests/MiniExcel.OpenXml.Tests/Main/MiniExcelOpenXmlExporterTests.cs	The writer outputs durations of at least one day as numeric total days. The test round-trips a 36.25-hour duration and asserts that the imported value matches.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 376b5

TimeSpan values are now exported with the [h]:mm:ss duration format, so durations over a day no longer display as dates or wrap at 24 hours. No merge-blocking risk was found. Adding an assertion on the exported format would make the test stronger.

Explanation

The title names the main change: TimeSpan values are exported with the [h]:mm:ss duration format. The raw summary and objectives confirm this. The summary describes the switch from format 21 and the date-based handling to built-in format 46 for all TimeSpan values, so the title matches the changeset.

Assert the exported number format.

OpenXmlStyles maps both format 21 and format 46 to TimeSpan. This assertion can therefore pass if the exported cell uses format 21 and displays 36 hours as 12 hours. Check the exported cell’s format in tests for both style builders. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Extend the Duration export test around the row.Duration assertion to inspect the exported cell’s number format for both style-builder paths. Verify it uses the elapsed-time format (46), not format 21, while preserving the existing duration value assertion.
