When round-tripping excel files in tandem with Timedelta data, the values returned by openpyxl differ from those returned by xlwt and xlsxwriter. To illustrate:
In []: df=pd.DataFrame([pd.to_timedelta(1, 'D')])
In []: df.to_excel('some_file.xls') # xlwt
.: pd.read_excel('some_file.xls')
Out[]:
001In []: pd.set_option('io.excel.xlsx.writer', 'xlsxwriter')
In []: df.to_excel('some_file.xlsx')
.: pd.read_excel('some_file.xlsx')
Out[]:
001In []: pd.set_option('io.excel.xlsx.writer', 'openpyxl')
In []: df.to_excel('some_file.xlsx')
.: pd.read_excel('some_file.xlsx')
Out[]:
001900-01-01
Only the xlwt option was being tested previously, but I uncovered this nuance while refactoring tests in #19829.
While the openpyxl result maintains date-like metadata I question if it's worth being different from the other engines, especially since that metadata misrepresents the object as a datetime and not necessarily a Timedelta (assuming the latter doesn't exist in Excel). Curious to hear others' thoughts
