This is the final part of our Excel Date Tutorial that offers an overview of all Excel date functions, explains their basic uses and provides lots of formula examples.
Microsoft Excel provides a ton of functions to work with dates and times. Each function performs a ordinary operation and by combining several functions within one formula you can solve more sophisticated and challenging tasks.
In the previous 12 parts of our Excel dates tutorial, we have studied the main Excel date functions in detail. In this final part, we are going to summarize the gained skill and provide links to a diversity the formula examples to help you find the function best suited for calculating your dates.
The main function to calculate dates in Excel:
Get current date and time:
- TODAY – comes back today’s date
- NOW – comebacks the current date and time
Convert dates to / from text:
- DATEVALUE – converts a date in the text format to date format
- TEXT – converts a date to a text value
Retrieve dates in Excel:
- DAY – comes back the day of the month
- MONTH – comebacks the month of a specified date
- YEAR – comebacks the year of a specified date
- EOMONTH – comebacks the last day of the month
- WEEKDAY – comes back the day of the week
- WEEKNUM – comes back the week number of a date
Calculate date difference:
- DATEDIF – comebacks the difference inbetween two dates
- EDATE – comes back a date N months before or after the begin date
- YEARFRAC – calculates the fraction of the year inbetween Two dates
Calculate workdays:
- WORKDAY – comebacks a date N working days in the future or in the past
- WORKDAY.INTL – comebacks a date N weekdays from the embark date with custom-built weekends
- NETWORKDAYS – comebacks the number of workdays inbetween two dates
- NETWORKDAYS.INTL – comes back the number of workdays inbetween two dates with custom-made weekends
Excel DATE function
DATE(year, month, day) comes back a serial number of a date based on the year, month and day values that you specify.
When it comes to working with dates in Excel, DATE is the most essential function to understand. The point is that other Excel date functions not always can recognize dates entered in the text format. So, when performing date calculations in Excel, you’d better supply dates using the DATE function to ensure the correct results.
Here are a few Excel DATE formula examples:
=DATE(2015, Five, 20) – comebacks a serial number corresponding to 20-May-2015.
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1) – comebacks the very first day of the current year and month.
=DATE(2015, Five, 20)-5 – subtracts Five days from May 20, 2015.
At very first glance, the Excel DATE function looks very elementary, however, it does have a number of specificities pointed out in the Excel DATE tutorial.
Below you will find a few more examples where the Excel DATE function is part of fatter formulas:
Excel TODAY function
The TODAY() function comes back today’s date, exactly as its name suggests.
TODAY is arguably one of the easiest Excel functions to use because it has no arguments at all. Whenever you need to get today’s date in Excel, inject the following formula is a cell:
Apart from this demonstrable use, the Excel TODAY function can be part of more sophisticated formulas and calculations based on today’s date. For example, to add 7 days to the current date, come in the following formula in a cell:
To add 30 weekdays to today’s date excluding weekend days, use this one:
For more formula examples demonstrating the use of the TODAY function in Excel, please check out the following tutorials:
Excel NOW function
NOW() function comebacks the current date and time. As well as TODAY, it does not have any arguments. If you wish to display today’s date and current time in your worksheet, simply put the following formula in a cell:
To force the spreadsheet to recalculate, and consequently get your NOW formula to update its value, press either Shift+F9 to recalculate only the active worksheet or F9 to recalculate all open workbooks.
To make the NOW() function automatically update every 2nd or so, a VBA macro is needed (a few examples are available here).
Excel DATEVALUE function
DATEVALUE(date_text) converts a date in the text format to a serial number that Microsoft Excel recognizes as a date.
The DATEVALUE function understands slew of date formats as well as references to cells that contain “text dates”. DATEVALUE comes in truly handy to calculate, filter or sort dates stored as text and convert such “text dates” to the Date format.
A few plain DATEVALUE formula examples go after below:
=DATEVALUE(“may 20, 2015”)
And the following examples demonstrate how the DATEVALUE function can help with solving real-life tasks:
Excel TEXT function
In the unspoiled sense, the TEXT function cannot be classified as one of Excel date functions because it can convert any numeric value, not only dates, to a text string.
With the TEXT(value, format_text) function, you can switch the dates to text strings in a diversity of formats, as demonstrated in the following screenshot.
Here are a few more TEXT formula examples that you may find helpful:
Excel DAY function
DAY(serial_number) function comebacks a day of the month as an integer from 1 to 31.
Serial_number is the date corresponding to the day you are attempting to get. It can be a cell reference, a date entered by using the DATE function, or returned by other formulas.
Here are a few formula examples:
=DAY(A2) – comes back the day of the date in A2
=DAY(DATE(2015,1,1)) – comebacks the day of 1-Jan-2015
=DAY(TODAY()) – comes back the day of today’s date
You can find more DAY formula examples by clicking the following links:
Excel MONTH function
MONTH(serial_number) function in Excel comes back the month of a specified date as an integer ranging from 1 (January) to 12 (December).
=MONTH(A2) – comes back the month of a date in cell A2.
=MONTH(TODAY()) – comes back the current month.
The MONTH function is uncommonly used in Excel date formulas on its own. Most often you would utilize it in conjunction with other functions as demonstrated in the following examples:
For the detail explanation of the MONTH function’s syntax and slew more formula examples, please check out the following tutorial: Using the MONTH function in Excel.
Excel YEAR function
YEAR(serial_number) comebacks a year corresponding to a given date, as a number from 1900 to 9999.
The Excel YEAR function is very straightforward and you will hardly run into any difficulties when using it in your date calculations:
=YEAR(A2) – comebacks the year of a date in cell A2.
=YEAR(“20-May-2015”) – comes back the year of the specified date.
=YEAR(DATE(2015,Five,20)) – a more reliable method to get the year of a given date.
=YEAR(TODAY()) – comebacks the current year.
For more information about the YEAR function, please see:
Excel EOMONTH function
EOMONTH(start_date, months) function comebacks the last day of the month a given number of months from the begin date.
Like most of Excel date functions, EOMONTH can operate on dates input as cell references, entered by using the DATE function, or results of other formulas.
- A positive value in the months argument adds the corresponding number of months to the embark date, for example:
=EOMONTH(A2, Three) – comebacks the last day of the month, Trio months after the date in cell A2.
=EOMONTH(A2, -3) – comes back the last day of the month, Three months before the date in cell A2.
=EOMONTH(DATE(2015,Four,15), 0) – comes back the last day in April, 2015.
You can find a few more EOMONTH formula examples in the following articles:
Excel WEEKDAY function
WEEKDAY(serial_number,[return_type]) function comes back the day of the week corresponding to a date, as a number from 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday).
- Serial_number can be a date, a reference to a cell containing a date, or a date returned by some other Excel function.
- Return_type (optional) – is a number that determines which day of the week shall be considered the very first day.
You can find the finish list of available come back types in the following tutorial: Calculating days of week in Excel (WEEKDAY function).
And here are a few WEEKEND formula examples:
=WEEKDAY(A2) – comebacks the day of the week corresponding to a date in cell A2, the 1 st day of the week is Sunday (default).
=WEEKDAY(A2, Two) – comes back the day of the week corresponding to a date in cell A2, the week starts on Monday.
=WEEKDAY(TODAY()) – comes back a number corresponding to today’s day of the week, the week embarks on Sunday.
The WEEKDAY function can help you determine which dates in your Excel sheet are working days and which ones are weekend days, and also sort, filter or highlight workdays and weekends:
Excel DATEDIF function
DATEDIF(start_date, end_date, unit) function is specially designed to calculate the difference inbetween two dates in days, months or years.
Which time interval to use for calculating the date difference depends on the letter you inject in the last argument:
=DATEDIF(A2, TODAY(), “d”) – calculates the number of days inbetween the date in A2 and today’s date.
=DATEDIF(A2, A5, “m”) – comebacks the number of accomplish months inbetween the dates in A2 and B2.
=DATEDIF(A2, A5, “y”) – comes back the number of accomplish years inbetween the dates in A2 and B2.
These are just the basic applications of the DATEDIF function and it is capable of much more, as demonstrated in the following examples:
Excel WEEKNUM function
WEEKNUM(serial_number, [return_type]) – comes back the week number of a specific date as an integer from 1 to 53.
For example, the below formula comebacks 1 because the week containing January 1 is the very first week in the year.
The following tutorial explains all the specificities on the Excel WEEKNUM function: WEEKNUM function – calculating week number in Excel.
Alternatively you can skip directly to one of the formula examples:
Excel EDATE function
EDATE(start_date, months) function comes back the serial number of the date that is the specified number of months before or after the begin date.
=EDATE(A2, Five) – adds Five months to the date in cell A2.
=EDATE(TODAY(), -5) – subtracts Five months from today’s date.
For a detailed explanation of EDATE formulas illustrated with formula examples, please see: Add or subtract months to a date with EDATE function.
Excel YEARFRAC function
YEARFRAC(start_date, end_date, [basis]) function calculates the proportion of the year inbetween Two dates.
This very specific function can be used to solve practical tasks such as calculating age from date of birth.
Excel WORKDAY function
WORKDAY(start_date, days, [holidays]) function comebacks a date N workdays before or after the embark date. It automatically excludes weekend days from calculations as well as any holidays that you specify.
This function is very helpful for calculating milestones and other significant events based on the standard working calendar.
For example, the following formula adds 45 weekdays to the commence date in cell A2, disregarding holidays in cells B2:B8:
=WORKDAY(A2, 45, B2:B85)
For the detailed explanation of WORKDAY’s syntax and more formula examples, please check out WORKDAY function – add or subtract workdays in Excel.
Excel WORKDAY.INTL function
WORKDAY.INTL(start_date, days, [weekend], [holidays]) is a more powerful variation of the WORKDAY function introduced in Excel 2010 and also available Excel 2013 and 2016.
WORKDAY.INTL permits calculating a date N number of workdays in the future or in the past with custom-made weekend parameters.
For example, to get a date 20 workdays after the commence date in cell A2, with Monday and Sunday counted as weekend days, you can use either of the following formulas:
=WORKDAY.INTL(A2, 20, Two, 7)
=WORKDAY.INTL(A2, 20, “1000001”)
Of course, it might be difficult to capture the essence from this brief explanation, but more formula examples illustrated with screenshots will make things truly effortless: WORKDAY.INTL – calculating workdays with custom-made weekends.
Excel NETWORKDAYS function
NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date, [holidays]) function comes back the number of weekdays inbetween two dates that you specify. It automatically excludes weekend days and, optionally, the holidays.
For example, the following formula calculates the number of entire workdays inbetween the commence date in A2 and end date in B2, disregarding Saturdays and Sundays and excluding holidays in cells C2:C5:
=NETWORKDAYS(A2, B2, C2:C5)
You can find a comprehensive explanation of the NETWORKDAYS function’s arguments illustrated with formula examples and screenshots in the following tutorial: NETWORKDAYS function – calculating workdays inbetween two dates.
Excel NETWORKDAYS.INTL function
NETWORKDAYS.INTL(start_date, end_date, [weekend], [holidays]) is a more powerful modification of the NETWORKDAYS function available in the modern versions of Excel 2010, Excel 2013 and Excel 2016. It also comes back the number of weekdays inbetween two dates, but lets you specify which days should be counted as weekends.
Here is a basic NETWORKDAYS formula:
=NETWORKDAYS(A2, B2, Two, C2:C5)
The formula calculates the number of workdays inbetween the date in A2 (start_date) and the date in B2 (end_date), excluding the weekend days Sunday and Monday (number Two in the weekend parameter), and overlooking holidays in cells C2:C5.

How do I calculate the number of Friday’s inbetween a current date and a future date?
You can use this formula:
In the formula, A1 is the future date, and 6 stands for Friday. If you want to count the number of some other day of the week inbetween two dates, you can substitute 6 with other numbers inbetween 1 (Sunday) and 7 (Saturday).

I have a worksheet I am building for a friend &, they want to be able to inject an event embark &, end date for the event. Once these dates are entered, I need a formula that will determine if the event occurs during either of the two stormy periods where they live.
I have been attempting to just combine an if statement with an AND statement, which works just superb, except I have to provide a year for the statement to work correctly. My problem is that I need the formula to work no matter what year the event occurs in. Is there a way to either get Excel to disregard the year or for me just to include a YEAR((today)) tag in my dates which delineate the stormy season?
The formula I am using is as goes after:
G28 &, G29 = the embark &, end dates for the event
J25 &, K25 = the embark &, end date of the normally stormy season (June 17th through July 29th).
Hi I am working on a “Charge, Credit, Balance worksheet”
Example: I have a tenant that in a year period has only paid 8 rent payments out of 12.I want to apply the 8 payments to the oldest balance.

I want to get a break down as if I apply Nov Payment to August charge, what would I be charging for Augs(I am aware that 357-287=70) so 70 will be apply to sep’s charge 357+70=427-January’s payment of 600. 427-600=(173)
the 173 will be apply to Otb’s charge which will let a charge of 327 for Oct instead of the 500.so if I was to give a notice to pay, It would look as go after:
Total to collect 1827.
I do it by forearm, but I would love to know the formula to save me some time.

im working with conditional formating. I have this condition, when it’s true the cell goes crimson =BA5>,=DATE(2017,1,31). Everything ok. But i have already typed this date (31.1.2017) in BA5 cell, couse it’s the end of the course (for my record). I would like that excel is counting days from the date i set this condition till the date that is written in cell (in my case 31.1.2017). So, if today is 26.1.2017, excel is coloring cell BA5 green. And it does that for another Four days. 5th day its 31.1.2017 and it colors cell crimson.
I believe i have to include =today() function, but dont know how. I have MS Office Pro Plus 2013.

Hi Svetlana, I have date format in Taxt (Very first tow Number are date and Last no are Months) as mentioned above and required date format as mentioned: 18-04-2017. Can you please help me with Formula to get this format please.
Assuming the source data is in column A, beginning with cell A2, you can use the following formula to convert the text strings to dates:
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), RIGHT(A2,Two), LEFT(A2,Two))
The DATE function displays dates in the default brief date format set in your Excel. To switch the date format the way you want, please use the Format Cells dialog as explained in this tutorial:
Or, you can nest the Date formula within the TEXT function and specify the desired format directly in the formula:
=TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), RIGHT(A2,Two), LEFT(A2,Two)), “dd-mm-yyyy”)
However, please keep in mind that TEXT always outputs a text string that only looks like a date.
Can you please help with below points :
I want to use Condition like if particular cell date is Today then result will be (this) if cell date is Tomorrow then Result will be (this) or else result will be (this).
What will be the Formula for the same.
Column G is a due date with a conditional formatting =AND(H9″Due”,G9<,TODAY()), so that it is highlighted once it is due.
Column H is the status ",Open",, ",Due",, ",Done",. I want Column H to auto populate ",Open", or ",Due", based on the date in Column G.
if the date is situated in G1, use the following formula for column H:
If this won’t help, please, specify the dates in your G column.
Please help me the below query.

I have list of 200 cases with their details and next dates. i want only those cases to be displayed which are on tomorrow only. i dont want other cases to be shown with their details. if there are only Two cases on tomorrow then it will demonstrate me only those Two cases which are on tomorrow. i manualy inputs the dates.
I have a list of duplicated project names with different timeframes, which I want to reduce to see the actual timeframe/phase – the one which MATCH TODAY’s date best.
Due to this I eliminated the duplicates and now I need a formula that can choose the timeframe which MATCH TODAY’s date best.
To make it more clear I already created a formula for the finish date, that finds the latest/maximum date, but not the BEST MATCHING TIMEFRAME TO TODAY’s DATE.
Row A = Project names to be searched in(Duplicates incl.)
Row B = Project finish date
Row C = Project names (Duplicates eliminated)
– It is an array formula, so press Ctrl, Shift + Inject

I would like to switch a date automatically to today’s date once data is switched in another column.
e.g Column A is a Serial Number, Column B is the software Version, Column C is whether Serial Number has updated Software Version = 0 for no and 1 for yes.

If this is unclear, i will send the spreadsheet for clarity.
