Extracting dates from Excel

[kper]

In my excel sheet, I've got a column with dates. Unfortunately, calamine::DateType has no variant for dates and when I handle a date as a string I get for 29.08.2012 -> 41181.

It would be nice to have built-in date conversion

Notes:

Excel stores dates as sequential serial numbers so that they can be used in calculations. By default, January 1, 1900 is serial number 1, and January 1, 2008 is serial number 39448 because it is 39,447 days after January 1, 1900.

Please refer to #95.

The issue is that the logic to decide whether the cell is a Date, an integer or a datetime is not yet implemented and unfortunately not straightforward.
