Unix time is merely the number of seconds since 01 Jan 1970 00:00 UTC

Excel time is expressed in decimal days.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day.

So to convert a Unix timestamp to XL time

=UnixTime/86400+DATE(1970,1,1)

Format to something you like.

Correct of the difference between UTC and your time zone if you want.
