Thanks for the PR! Please add tests whenever changing functionality.

Looking good - can you also add one test in excel/test_writers.py for round-tripping (writes a DataFrame to an excel file, reads it, and asserts its the same as the original DataFrame).

My test case gets called 8 times, 6 times the dtype of result is 'datetime64[us]', and the other two times is 'datetime64[s]'. I don't know why this is happening. I had to do unit conversions for result.

I've found that the dtype of result depends on the suffix of tmp_excel, only in the case of .ods the dtype is datetime64[s] and in other cases it is datetime64[us]. The latest PR has been completed by changing the expected to match result, please check it out. Thanks a lot!!!

And maybe it can be a new issue to unify the units of datetime in different tmp_excel formats.

Can you add a note in the whatsnew for v3.0.0 under the I/O section.
