Should we change the kwarg to instead use the Microsoft terminology of 1900 and 1904 datesystem: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/excel/1900-and-1904-date-system? Like make the kwarg 1904_date_system=True? Or do you think using the OS names is clearer?

I think it makes more sense to use the 1900/1904 convention. I looked in Excel and that's what they end up of using.

Instead of using arrow.get() you can call cls.get().
Yes it would. I can add test cases to make it more clear. |

Rather than creating a new function, I think it may be more consistent with our existing |

@jadchaar do you think that |

Description of Changes
Closes: #977. New support for creation of Arrow objects from Excel Serial Dates. There seems to be an issue with the linting of the docs, after some tests have been run. Not too sure what it is at first glance.
