[Reproducible] with Parallel Dev-Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta2-
WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [Build-ID :
8589e48-760cc4d-f39cf3d-1b2857e-60db978]. References were MS OFFICE 2010, and
MS EXCEL Viewer, als Gnumeric

May be there is some kind of EXCEL-bug what has to be mentioned for export of
particular Numbers?
Comparison counting down shows

No      LibO Date     EXCEL date
61      01.03.1900    01.03.1900 
62      28.03.1900    29.02.1900   !!!!

Excel Counts 1900 as a leap year, but it was not
 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year#Gregorian_calendar>
 They also have a Saturday, January 0th  1900 in Redmont ;-)

Because of this we can't simply leave the "number behind the date" when we
export to EXCEL.XLS (and import), but we have to modify numbers in Date
formatted fields for import/export within particular date ranges.

That also never worked in OOo, so inherited.
Gnumeric seems to know the EXCEL bug and does it correct.

So this one is more or less a DUP of "Bug 37501 - FILEOPEN Calc shows wrong
date in Excel created .xls".  But I disagree with decision "NOTOURBUG there. We
claim to be able to open and edit EXCEL documents, and so we have to mention
EXCEL bugs for the sake of compatibility.
