使用 SSIS 读取 Excel 时的日期格式

Question

experts. I've got two similar Excel files (xlsm) as templates. Both have sheets with Date column. Visible format for both files when use Excel is "10-Aug-20". But when I read these files with SSIS process with Script Component Source using Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 with "IMEX=1"... ta-da.., some I see as expected. but some are 10.08:2020 00:00.00 This causes me a lot of pain because I will process files from both US (MM/dd/yyyy) and German (dd.MM.yyyy) date formats and would like to have locale-independent date format to process dates same way. How can I force excel to give or ssis to read a correct date format.

Any suggestion how to see both files same programmaticly is most wanted and highly appreciated!

You could try to use the script component (as Transformation) to transform the data by using DateTime.TryParseExact

  string dateString = "10-Aug-20";
  string format = "dd-MMM-yy";
  DateTime dateTime;
  if (DateTime.TryParseExact(dateString, format, "en-US",DateTimeStyles.None, out dateTime))//if (DateTime.TryParseExact(dateString, format, "de-DE",DateTimeStyles.None, out dateTime))
        {
            Console.WriteLine(dateTime);
        }
