property bool DateTimeAsReal

Determines whether a date-time number is returned as a Date number or as a real number. When it is returned as a real-number, the numeric value is the number of days since the date origin, either 1-Jan-1904 (if the Use Excel date origin is off) or 1-Jan-1900 (if the Use Excel date origin is on).

The date origin preference is stored in the system variable Sv__DateOriginOffset, which is 0 when the origin is 1-Jan-1900 or -1462 when the Use Excel date origin preference is on.
