DATE Function - Excel


Overview


The DATE function in Excel is a useful tool for creating a date by specifying the year, month, and day as individual arguments. This function generates a valid date based on the provided values.

An example of the DATA function in Excel

Example:

=DATE(2023, 1, 15)

Syntax:

=DATE(year, month, day)

year: The year for the date.

month: The month for the date (a number between 1 and 12).

day: The day of the month for the date (a number between 1 and 31, depending on the month).

In this example, the DATE function has 2023 for the year input, 4 for the month input and 19 for the day input. This gives us a final output of “4/19/2023”.
