Hello, Judy-
I learned something new today: an Epoch date is a Unix method of time
measurement. It represents the number of seconds that have elapsed
since Jan 1, 1970 at midnight GMT.

Convert Epoch serial date to a conventional date by determining the
number of days represented by that number of seconds. 60 seconds in a
minute times 60 minutes in an hour times 24 hours in a day = 86400.
1103033227 / 86400 = 12766.59.

Then use Excel to add 12766.59 days to 1/1/1970, comme ca:
=(1103033227/86400)+DATEVALUE("1/1/1970")

Format this cell as a date, and you're done. The only other question
is: do you need to represent this as your local time, or as Greenwich
Mean Time? If so, you'll need to know your GMT offset: on the US East
Coast the offset is 5 hours (since we're 5 hours' time zone difference
between here and England). The formula is
=(1103033227/86400)+DATEVALUE("1/1/1970")-(5/24)
