Parameters in my command are identified as being curly braces surrounding a type and a column reference
e.g. {S2} refers to a string in column 2, while {N4} refers to a number in column 4 (The row is the same as command)
As I know what I'd like to be formatted as a date it was just a case of adding a new type identifier D for date so that I now have {D3} to refer to a date in column 3. I can then use DateTime.FromOADate() to parse the double and return a date time. This can then be output as a yyyy/mm/dd string in the parameter substitution
DateTime dt = DateTime.FromOADate(r.Value2);
Future Changes
Currently the command is processed as soon as you leave the cell, what I'd like to do is to be able to write the commands and then select a range of cells and choose to convert them at that point. This way I could make sure I was happy with the entire thing before I lost all my parameter markers.
The other sensible change may be to leave the initial string along and have the actual fully substituted string returned in the next column across, This way you don't lose your original command.
