These functions are used to retrieve the components of an Excel date/time number.

 

For example, the formula TEST TIME = EXCELDATESERIAL ( 2008 , 1 , 1 ) returns 39448, the serial number of the date 1/1/2008.

 

TEST YEAR = EXCELDATESERIAL_YEAR ( 39448 ) will return 2008

TEST MONTH = EXCELDATESERIAL_MONTH ( 39448 ) will return 1

TEST DAY = EXCELDATESERIAL_DAY_OF_MONTH ( 39448 ) will return 1
