Team Foundation Server doesn't allow editing the actual HTML out of the fields. The text typed in Excel would be published without any of its HTML tags and that is the reason that it lost its formatting.

Explanation:
TFS Web interface is not rendering the date field with respect to “daylight saving” which is causing the confusion between the date field displayed in web access and visual studio IDE. The TFS date fields populated with the date during “daylight saving” on and time as 23:00 are displayed as next day in Visual Studio IDE which is logical and expected.
Solution:
Install latest "Daylight Saving Time (DST)" update for windows on your app tier(s).
