=(A1 - 25569)*86400
Where A1 is a cell set to display as a date. Set the cell with the above formula to display as a plain numder, and I think it will display the timestamp value.
Based on this page about the reverse transformation.
=(A1 / 86400) + 25569
This method does not seem to be correct
If we assume the date in Excel is in A1 cell formatted as Date and the Unix timestamp should be in a A2 cell formatted as number the formula in A2 should be:
= (A1 * 86400) - 2209075200
where:
86400 is the number of seconds in the day 2209075200 is the number of seconds between 1900-01-01 and 1970-01-01 which are the base dates for Excel and Unix timestamps.
The above is true for Windows. On Mac the base date in Excel is 1904-01-01 and the seconds number should be corrected to: 2082844800
