when a cell value is formated into date the value is $data = 27474 when is not $data = 12/2/1983 then i use this code to format their date

if(PHPExcel_Shared_Date::isDateTime($data)){
           $cellValue = $objWorksheet->getCellByColumnAndRow($col, $row)->getValue();
           $dateValue = PHPExcel_Shared_Date::ExcelToPHP($cellValue);

Please try this, this should work,

if(PHPExcel_Shared_Date::isDateTime($data)){
   $cellValue = $objWorksheet->getCellByColumnAndRow($col, $row);
   $InvDate= $cellValue->getValue();

   if(PHPExcel_Shared_Date::isDateTime($cell)) {
   $InvDate = date($format, PHPExcel_Shared_Date::ExcelToPHP($InvDate)); 
}  
}
