Convert Javascript Date object to Excel serial date number

Question

So I have a Javascript date object with year, month, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds data and I need to convert this object to an Excel serial number but I didn't find a way to do that. I found how to convert only a Date object but the way I found didn't consider the time part.

Any suggestions? Thank you, Regards.

Try this:

function ExcelDateToJSDate(serial) {
   var utc_days  = Math.floor(serial - 25569);
   var utc_value = utc_days * 86400;                                        
   var date_info = new Date(utc_value * 1000);

   var fractional_day = serial - Math.floor(serial) + 0.0000001;

   var total_seconds = Math.floor(86400 * fractional_day);

   var seconds = total_seconds % 60;

   total_seconds -= seconds;

   var hours = Math.floor(total_seconds / (60 * 60));
   var minutes = Math.floor(total_seconds / 60) % 60;

   return new Date(date_info.getFullYear(), date_info.getMonth(), date_info.getDate(), hours, minutes, seconds);
}

Or you can use:

function SerialDateToJSDate(serialDate) {
  var days = Math.floor(serialDate);
  var hours = Math.floor((serialDate % 1) * 24);
  var minutes = Math.floor((((serialDate % 1) * 24) - hours) * 60)
  return new Date(Date.UTC(0, 0, serialDate, hours-17, minutes));
}
