OpenXML - Cell.DateType is null

Question

I cannot determine when the cell is a date.

I noticed that the DataType is null, so I cannot distinguish it from a Date number.

I use the following code to extract cells:

WorksheetPart worksheetPart = (WorksheetPart)workbookPart.GetPartById(worksheetId);
SheetData sheetData = worksheetPart.Worksheet.GetFirstChild<SheetData>();
Row[] rows = worksheetPart.Worksheet.Descendants<Row>().ToArray();
for (int i = 0; i < rows.Length; i++)
{
    List<Cell> cells = rows[i].Elements<Cell>().ToList();
    foreach (var cell in cells) 
    {
        if (cell.DataType != null && cell.DataType.Value == CellValues.Date)
            //this line is not hit for some reason
         }
    }
}

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

In short, this value is null, as it should be for numeric and date types.

OpenXML documentation on msdn

The value of the DataType property is null for numeric and date types. It contains the value CellValues.SharedString for strings and CellValues.Boolean for boolean values.
