Could you please run the following commands in a terminal session:

write $zv
set exl=##class(%SYS.Python).Import("openpyxl")
set wbk=exl."load_workbook"( "your path_and_filename.xlsx" )
set sht=wbk.active
set cel=sht.cell(row,col)	// ROW and COL should point to a date-cell
write cel."data_type"
write cel.value.strftime("%d.%m.%Y")

Please post a screenshot here, even if you get some kind of error

Excel store date values as decimal values (or better, as flotaing poin) as dddd.tttt where ddd is the number of days since a base date (usually 1899-12-30) and tttt is: numberOfSecondsSinceMidnight / 86400, hence the value, you get is an date-object, and you have to format it according to your needs

Class DC.PyExcel Extends %RegisteredObject
{

ClassMethod Test(fn = "/home/kav/test/readtest.xlsx")
{
	set exl=##class(%SYS.Python).Import("openpyxl")
	set wbk=exl."load_workbook"(fn)
	set sht=wbk.active
	
	for row=1,2,3 {
		for col=1:1:3 {
			set cel=sht.cell(row,col)
			set typ=cel."data_type"
			set val=cel.value
			
			write ?col-1*15,$case(typ, "s":val, "n":$fn(val,",",2), "d":val.strftime("%a, %d.%m.%Y"), :"")
		}
		write !
	}
}

}

   

At least, there are four different ways to get that info

ClassMethod StudioTest()
{
	write "Call from Studio1: ",..InStudio1(),!
	write "Call from Studio2: ",..InStudio2(),!
}

/// Is the invocation from the Studio?
ClassMethod InStudio1()
{
	for i=$st:-1:1 if $st(i,"PLACE")["%Studio.General." ret 1
	ret 0
}

/// Is there a connection to Superserver?
ClassMethod InStudio2()
{
	set port=1972 // see iris.cpf, section [Startup], DefaultPort=...
	quit $p($v(-1,$j),"^",3)[("|TCP|"_port_"|")
}
Compiling routine DC.Util.1
Compilation finished successfully in 0.024s.

do ##class(DC.Util).StudioTest()
Call from Studio1: 1
Call from Studio2: 1


ICINDY:USER>; from PuTTY   -------------------

ICINDY:USER>do ##class(DC.Util).StudioTest()
Call from Studio1: 0
Call from Studio2: 0

 

The other two methods are: checking for the presence of
a) a dedicated variable or
b) a dedicated object
but both require a usage of undocumented functions

Well, I'm neither part of the ObjectScript nor the Objects developer team, hence I can't answer the "why" part of your question but fact is, timing mesuremenst show a significat higher speeds for the literal versions:
 

ClassMethod DynObject()
{
	while $zh#1 {} set t1=$zh for i=1:1:1E6 { if ##class(%DynamicArray).%New()  } set t1=$zh-t1
	while $zh#1 {} set t2=$zh for i=1:1:1E6 { if ##class(%DynamicObject).%New() } set t2=$zh-t2
	while $zh#1 {} set t3=$zh for i=1:1:1E6 { if [] } set t3=$zh-t3
	while $zh#1 {} set t4=$zh for i=1:1:1E6 { if {} } set t4=$zh-t4
	
	write "Times for :    Class  Literal     Diff",!
	write "DynArray  :", $j(t1,9,3), $j(t3,9,3), $j(t1/t3-1*100,9,2),"%",!
	write "DynObject :", $j(t2,9,3), $j(t4,9,3), $j(t2/t4-1*100,9,2),"%",!
}

The output will depend on
- IRIS/Cache version in use and
- on the underlying hardware
My values are

USER>d ##class(DC.Times).DynObject()
Times for :    Class  Literal     Diff
DynArray  :    0.665    0.401    65.90%
DynObject :    0.649    0.401    61.87%

Maybe someone else or the WRC has an explanation...

My guess is, because abstract classes (%CSP.Page is an abstract class) can't be instantiated, your subclass lacks the generator methos for property initialisation.

But there is a simple solution:

Class Your.Page Extends (%RegisteredObject, %CSP.Page)
{
Property Name As %String [ InitialExpression = "Joe" ];
}

Well, the world is right again

set page=##class(Your.Page).%New()
write page.Name --> Joe

Try it this way...

Class DC.OldStuff Extends %Persistent [ StorageStrategy = NewStorage1 ]
{

Property Rec As %Integer [ Identity ];
Property Name As %String;
Property City As %String;
Property Phone As %String;
Storage NewStorage1
{
<SQLMap name="Map1">
<Data name="City">
<RetrievalCode>s {*}=$zel(^myGlo("R",{L2}),2)</RetrievalCode>
</Data>
<Data name="Name">
<RetrievalCode>s {*}=$zel(^myGlo("R",{L2}),1)</RetrievalCode>
</Data>
<Data name="Phone">
<RetrievalCode>s {*}=$zel(^myGlo("R",{L2}),3)</RetrievalCode>
</Data>
<Global>^myGlo</Global>
<Subscript name="1">
<Expression>"R"</Expression>
</Subscript>
<Subscript name="2">
<Expression>{Rec}</Expression>
</Subscript>
<Type>data</Type>
</SQLMap>
<StreamLocation>^DC.OldS</StreamLocation>
<Type>%CacheSQLStorage</Type>
}

}

A short test shows, it works

USER>k ^myGlo
USER>s ^myGlo("R",1)=$zlp("John,Boston,11-22-33")
USER>s ^myGlo("R",5)=$zlp("Laura,New York,333-444-555")

First step: create your own method, for example

Class DC.Unix [ Abstract ]
{
/// Convert Posix time into Timestamp
/// 
/// posix: posix time
///    df: date format
///    tf: time format
///    dp: decimal places
ClassMethod PosixToTimeStamp(posix, df = 3, tf = 1, dp = 0)
{
	set posix=posix-1152921504606846976/1E6
	quit $zdt(posix\86400+47117_","_(posix#86400),df,tf,dp)
}
}

Next step, if you need more speed, instead of the parameters <df> and <tf> use constants and remove <dp>. The very last step: shorten the method name from PosixToTimeStamp() to P2TS()

This way I got the (nearly) the same times as with (%Library.PosixTime).LogicalToTimeStamp, but without the need for string manipulation 

ICINDY:USER>k

ICINDY:USER>set posix = 1154669852181849976

ICINDY:USER>while $zh#1 {} s t=$zh f i=1:1:1E6 { s x=##class(%Library.PosixTime).LogicalToTimeStamp(posix) } w $zh-t
.902538
ICINDY:USER>while $zh#1 {} s t=$zh f i=1:1:1E6 { s x=##class(%Library.PosixTime).LogicalToTimeStamp(posix) } w $zh-t
.90609

ICINDY:USER>while $zh#1 {} s t=$zh f i=1:1:1E6 { s x=##class(DC.Unix).PosixToTimeStamp(posix) } w $zh-t

An easy and simple (assuming standard storage strategy) way to get those informations (the slot numbers, where a property is stored) could be achieved with a simple classmethod

Class DC.PropInfo [ Abstract ]
{

/// Info about properties of a class:
/// - list of all properties stored in a list
/// - slot number for a given property
/// 
/// 1) add this class to your class definition
///    class some.class extends (%Persistent, DC.StorageInfo)  or
///    class some.class extends (%SerialClass, DC.StorageInfo)
///           
/// 2) then use it as follows
///    write ##class(some.class).PropInfo()      --> list of property names
///    write ##class(some.class).PropInfo("Age") --> slot number for the Age property
/// 
/// write ##class(
ClassMethod PropInfo(name = "") As %String [ CodeMode = objectgenerator ]
{
	set sto=%compiledclass.Storages, prp=0, list=""
	
	if sto.Count()=1 {
		set dat=sto.GetAt(1).Data
		for i=1:1:dat.Count() if dat.GetAt(i).Structure="listnode" set prp=dat.GetAt(i) quit
	
		if prp {
			if %compiledclass.ClassType="serial" { set list="", i=1 } else { set list=$lb(""), i=2 }
			for i=i:1:prp.Values.Count() set list=list_$lb(prp.Values.GetAt(i).Value)
		}
		
		do %code.WriteLine(" if name="""" quit """_$lts(list)_"""")
		do %code.WriteLine(" quit $lf($lfs("""_$lts(list)_"""),name)")
	}
	
	if list="" write !,"*** No properties found! ***"
	quit $$$OK
}

}

Two test classes

Class DC.TestPerson Extends (%Persistent, DC.PropInfo)
{
Property Name As %String;
Property Addr As DC.Address;
Property Salary As %Numeric;
Property Expertise As list Of %String;
}


Class DC.Address Extends (%SerialObject,DC.PropInfo)
{
Property Street As %String;
Property City As %String;
}

Now you can do things like:

write ##class(DC.TestPerson).PropInfo()         --> ,Name,Addr,Salary,Expertise
write ##class(DC.TestPerson).PropInfo("Salary") --> 4
// you can use the slot number for direct data access:
write $list(^DC.TestPersonD(id),slotnumber)  gives you the same value as
write ##class(DC.TestPerson).SalaryGetStored(id)

// the same game for serial classes
write ##class(DC.Address).PropInfo()       --> Street,City
write ##class(DC.Address).PropInfo("City") --> 2

// in case you have an instance
set pers=##class(DC.TestPerson).%OpenId(id)
write pers.PropInfo()      --> ,Name,Addr,Salary,Expertise
write pers.Addr.PropInfo() --> Street,City

// etc.
