DATE FUNCTIONS The date functions are used to manipulate data which appears in Date format 1.

DATEVALUE (date) Gives the serial value of a date. Gives a count of the number of days between Jan 1, 1900 and the given date 2. TODAY() Gives todays date 3. WORKDAY(start_date, #days, [holidays]) 4. How do I determine the number of workdays between two dates? NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date, [holidays]) 5. Extract month, year and date from a date Year(date) Month(date) Day(date) 6. Create a Date : DATE(year;month;day)

7. Find the difference between two dates: Datedif(startdate, end date,mode) The start date must be less than or equal to the end date, otherwise it will give an error. Acceptable interval codes are "d", "m", "y", "ym", "yd", "md" (with quotes) It may appear obvious what the "ym", "yd", and "md" interval codes do but they require a second look. The "ym" interval cod yields the number of months between the two dates as if they were in the same year and ignores the year. The "yd", and "md interval codes yields the number of days between the two dates as if they were in the same year and ignores the year.
