However, it turns out that the use of values with very large absolute values can cause Php DateTime to throw an exception, which is the problem with 4696, when it callsDate::exceTolDateTimeObjectfor a cell with a large integer value.Date::excelToDateTimeObjectis coded to return a Php DateTime object.

Cell::getFormattedValueto avoid this problem. This is fixed inStyle::NumberFormatter::DateFormatter::format.This is:
