It is fine if I expect date, but what if I expect some string and now I have to validate it. How to get original string, if I don't know original format?\r\n\r\nFor example if cell contains \"31.10.1959\" and it is date type, reader result is DateTime object with value \"1959-10-31 00:00:00\". Problem is that I can not show user that \"1959-10-31\" is not what I expect, because file contains \"31.10.1959\". Is there any way how to get original string without DateTime object?
