Excel date functions - formula examples of DATE, TODAY, etc.
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 simple operation and by combining several functions within one formula you can solve more complex 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 knowledge and provide links to a variety 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:
Convert dates to / from text:
Retrieve dates in Excel:
Calculate date difference:
Calculate workdays:
Excel DATE function
DATE(year, month, day) returns 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, 5, 20) - returns a serial number corresponding to 20-May-2015.
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1) - returns the first day of the current year and month.
=DATE(2015, 5, 20)-5 - subtracts 5 days from May 20, 2015.
At first sight, the Excel DATE function looks very simple, 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 bigger formulas:
Excel TODAY function
The TODAY() function returns 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, enter the following formula is a cell:
=TODAY()
Apart from this obvious use, the Excel TODAY function can be part of more complex formulas and calculations based on today's date. For example, to add 7 days to the current date, enter the following formula in a cell:
=TODAY()+7
To add 30 weekdays to today's date excluding weekend days, use this one:
=WORKDAY(TODAY(), 30)
For more formula examples demonstrating the use of the TODAY function in Excel, please check out the following tutorials:
Excel NOW function
NOW() function returns 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:
=NOW()
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 second 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 plenty of date formats as well as references to cells that contain "text dates". DATEVALUE comes in really handy to calculate, filter or sort dates stored as text and convert such "text dates" to the Date format.
A few simple DATEVALUE formula examples follow below:
=DATEVALUE("20-may-2015")
=DATEVALUE("5/20/2015")
=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 pure 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 change the dates to text strings in a variety 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 returns a day of the month as an integer from 1 to 31.
Serial_number is the date corresponding to the day you are trying 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) - returns the day of the date in A2
=DAY(DATE(2015,1,1)) - returns the day of 1-Jan-2015
=DAY(TODAY()) - returns 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 returns the month of a specified date as an integer ranging from 1 (January) to 12 (December).
For example:
=MONTH(A2) - returns the month of a date in cell A2.
=MONTH(TODAY()) - returns the current month.
The MONTH function is rarely 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 plenty more formula examples, please check out the following tutorial: Using the MONTH function in Excel.
Excel YEAR function
YEAR(serial_number) returns 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) - returns the year of a date in cell A2.
=YEAR("20-May-2015") - returns the year of the specified date.
=YEAR(DATE(2015,5,20)) - a more reliable method to get the year of a given date.
=YEAR(TODAY()) - returns the current year.
For more information about the YEAR function, please see:
Excel EOMONTH function
EOMONTH(start_date, months) function returns the last day of the month a given number of months from the start 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
monthsargument adds the corresponding number of months to the start date, for example:=EOMONTH(A2, 3)- returns the last day of the month, 3 months after the date in cell A2. - A negative value in the
monthsargument subtracts the corresponding number of months from the start date:=EOMONTH(A2, -3)- returns the last day of the month, 3 months before the date in cell A2. - A zero in the
monthsargument forces the EOMONTH function to return the last day of the start date's month:=EOMONTH(DATE(2015,4,15), 0)- returns the last day in April, 2015. - To get the last day of the current month, enter the TODAY function in the
start_dateargument and 0 inmonths:=EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0)
You can find a few more EOMONTH formula examples in the following articles:
Excel WEEKDAY function
WEEKDAY(serial_number,[return_type]) function returns 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 first day.
You can find the complete list of available return types in the following tutorial: Calculating days of week in Excel (WEEKDAY function).
And here are a few WEEKEND formula examples:
=WEEKDAY(A2) - returns the day of the week corresponding to a date in cell A2; the 1st day of the week is Sunday (default).
=WEEKDAY(A2, 2) - returns the day of the week corresponding to a date in cell A2; the week begins on Monday.
=WEEKDAY(TODAY()) - returns a number corresponding to today's day of the week; the week begins 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 between two dates in days, months or years.
Which time interval to use for calculating the date difference depends on the letter you enter in the last argument:
=DATEDIF(A2, TODAY(), "d") - calculates the number of days between the date in A2 and today's date.
=DATEDIF(A2, A5, "m") - returns the number of complete months between the dates in A2 and B2.
=DATEDIF(A2, A5, "y") - returns the number of complete years between 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]) - returns the week number of a specific date as an integer from 1 to 53.
For example, the below formula returns 1 because the week containing January 1 is the first week in the year.
=WEEKNUM("1-Jan-2015")
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 returns the serial number of the date that is the specified number of months before or after the start date.
For example:
=EDATE(A2, 5) - adds 5 months to the date in cell A2.
=EDATE(TODAY(), -5) - subtracts 5 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 between 2 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 returns a date N workdays before or after the start 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 important events based on the standard working calendar.
For example, the following formula adds 45 weekdays to the start date in cell A2, ignoring 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 allows calculating a date N number of workdays in the future or in the past with custom weekend parameters.
For example, to get a date 20 workdays after the start date in cell A2, with Monday and Sunday counted as weekend days, you can use either of the following formulas:
=WORKDAY.INTL(A2, 20, 2, 7)
or
=WORKDAY.INTL(A2, 20, "1000001")
Of course, it might be difficult to grasp the essence from this short explanation, but more formula examples illustrated with screenshots will make things really easy: WORKDAY.INTL - calculating workdays with custom weekends.
Excel NETWORKDAYS function
NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date, [holidays]) function returns the number of weekdays between two dates that you specify. It automatically excludes weekend days and, optionally, the holidays.
For example, the following formula calculates the number of whole workdays between the start date in A2 and end date in B2, ignoring 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 between 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 returns the number of weekdays between two dates, but lets you specify which days should be counted as weekends.
Here is a basic NETWORKDAYS formula:
=NETWORKDAYS(A2, B2, 2, C2:C5)
The formula calculates the number of workdays between the date in A2 (start_date) and the date in B2 (end_date), excluding the weekend days Sunday and Monday (number 2 in the weekend parameter), and ignoring holidays in cells C2:C5.
For full details about the NETWORKDAYS.INTL function, please see NETWORKDAYS function - counting workdays with custom weekends.

How do I calculate the number of Friday's between a current date and a future date?
Thank you,
Hello Leesha,
You can use this formula:
=INT((WEEKDAY(TODAY()-6)-TODAY()+A1)/7)
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 between two dates, you can replace 6 with other numbers between 1 (Sunday) and 7 (Saturday).

Thanks!
I have a worksheet I am building for a friend & they want to be able to enter an event start & 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 trying to just combine an if statement with an AND statement, which works just great, 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 ignore 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 follows:
=IF(AND(G28>=J25,G29<=K25),"Chance of Storms","Clear Weather")
where
G28 & G29 = the start & end dates for the event
J25 & K25 = the start & 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.
Date charge Credit Balance
January 500 600 1827
Dec 500 0
Nov 500 287
Oct 500 0
Sep 357 0
Aug 357 0 0
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 follow:
January 500
Dec 500
Nov 500
Oct 327
Total to collect 1827.
I do it by hand, but I would love to know the formula to save me some time.
I don't know if I made sense but, if I did can you please help me? I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Can you please help me in creating moving vertical line with respect to week/date.
Thank you, very helpful.
I need help.
im working with conditional formating. I have this condition; when it's true the cell goes red =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 4 days. 5th day its 31.1.2017 and it colors cell red.
I believe i have to include =today() function, but dont know how. I have MS Office Pro Plus 2013.
Thank you for your help

Hi Svetlana, I have date format in Taxt (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.
Hi Rohan,
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(A2,2), LEFT(A2,2))
The DATE function displays dates in the default short date format set in your Excel. To change the date format the way you want, please use the Format Cells dialog as explained in this tutorial:
https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2015/03/11/change-date-format-excel/
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(A2,2), LEFT(A2,2)), "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.
Help
Hey, Ellen,
if the date is situated in G1, use the following formula for column H:
=IF($G1<TODAY(),"DUE","OPEN")
If this won't help, please, specify the dates in your G column.
Hi Team,

Hi MANPREET,
The only way that I know involves creating a circular reference, which is generally not recommended. The formula is described here:
How to insert today date & current time as unchangeable time stamp
However, I strongly recommend that you read about possible side-effects and reasons not to use circular references in Excel before using that formula in your worksheets.
Hiii..
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 2 cases on tomorrow then it will show me only those 2 cases which are on tomorrow. i manualy inputs the dates.
Hi,
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 removed 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...
Example:
Row A = Project names to be searched in(Duplicates incl.)
Row B = Project finish date
Row C = Project names (Duplicates removed)
MAX(IF(($A$1:$A$100=C1),(B2:B100)))
- It is an array formula, so press Ctrl, Shift + ENTER
Hope my question makes sense.
Best regards,
Niklas

Would like to have day-of-week display as full text.
Cell A1 has date. Cell B1 contains =DAY() which displays the numerical day of week. Would like to have Cell B1 display the text version of the day, eg. Monday, Tuesday, etc.
Looking for a function where for eg you type in a statement date (30/06/2017) it will pick up everything in the other worksheets pertaining to that particular date/month - what formula do I use...that's if I am making any sense:)
Hello, Mel,
Well, this is an interesting questions, since we don't know how your lookup data is stored and whether you want to pick up a row/a column or something other than that.
For now, I can advise you to take a look at a few functions that may help:
VLOOKUP
HLOOKUP
IF
INDEX/MATCH
Or, a simpler method is to try our Merge Tables Wizard that can do that for you :)
I will enter data in every 10 days.I want to set upcoming specified date after no of day.if i enter data every day then this formula can be work=TODAY()+B1 where B1 is Project duration.
For an example:- Today date is 04/07/2017, data enter date also same 04/07/2017.
date Project duration in day
28/06/2017 17
30/06/2017 5
01/07/2017 3
04/07/2017 2
Hi,
What formula would I use if I want the excel sheet to count a drop down menu item for the current week.
Like lets say this is my excel sheet:
1 A B C ..K
2 7/17/17 Requests Can you fix my chair? Maintenance
3 7/18/17 Maintenance Fixed chair Low
4 7/21/17 Low Mopped Floor High
5 7/21/17 Requests Can I get my box fixed? Med
6 7/23/17 High Put Insulation in Requests
I want the excel sheet to count every time the sheet says requests and it occurred this week. I want it to update after every seven days.
I tried
COUNTIF(TODAY()+7, $K6)
$K6= Requests (data validated for drop down menu items for column B:B)
But it didn't work
Thanks,

Hi. I need to a formula for one cell in a column that will return the date for every Sunday from here on out. The date format i would like to use is 17-09-03. I would drag the cell containing this formula down the column to fill in the blanks on the spreadsheet.

Any ideas please? Thanks
Hey there,
I am trying to figure out a formula in which I have a date in one column and the column next to it has to show a specific date for example A1 has a date ex today's date and B1 needs to show a date of 9/10/2018
I have a column of expiry dates. I need to display those dates that are going to expiry in the next two to three weeks.
thanks in advance.
Hello, Santa,
you need to use Conditional formatting here.
If the dates are in column A, you create a rule that will be applied to A:A with the following condition:
=(A1+14)>TODAY()
Please use the link above to learn how to create and use conditional formatting in Excel.

Hi There! Can you help me with this calculating the days from dates please? I want to add say 3/16/2017+3/20/2017 and see the result at 4.
Thanks for your help!
Cory
Hi, Cory,
if A1 contains 3/16/2017 and A2 - 3/20/2017, the following formula will return 4:
=$A$2-$A$1
Or you can use the other one:
=DATEVALUE("3/20/2017") - DATEVALUE("3/16/2017")
Hope this helps!

and the next one to D2:
=IF(A2>"14/9/2016", B2*6%,"")

I am creating new dates based on a forecast date: Example a forecast date of 12/01/2017... to get me new date I use =EOMONTH(H17,0)+30, which this would create 1/30/2018. But that is a problem because I cant have dates go into the next year. It would have to stop at 12/31/17... how can I do that in excel?

Hello, dibya,
I'm afraid there's no easy way to solve your task with a formula. Using a VBA macro would be the best option here.
However, since we do not cover the programming area (VBA-related questions), I can advice you to try and look for the solution in VBA sections on mrexcel.com or excelforum.com.

Hi,
I would like to change a date automatically to today's date once data is changed 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. Column D is the date the software was updated. I would like to know what formula to use when we change the software version ... column D should automatically update to today's date.
If this is unclear, i will send the spreadsheet for clarity.

I have a spreadsheet that I sometimes keep open for several days. I have the TODAY() function in one cell. There are many other cells that refer to this for date calculations.

Dear Sudesh,
Use the formula
=SUM(IFERROR(VALUE(IF(COLUMN(A1:J1)=COLUMN(A1:J1),MID(SUM(IFERROR(VALUE(IF(COLUMN(A1:J1)=COLUMN(A1:J1),MID(A2,COLUMN(A1:J1),1),0)),0)),COLUMN(A1:J1),1),0)),0))
Formula will provide the sum of the digits like 123456 as 3.
If you also want to get the first stage of the sum of digits, then you can use the following formula.
=SUM(IFERROR(VALUE(IF(COLUMN(A1:J1)=COLUMN(A1:J1),MID(A2,COLUMN(A1:J1),1),0)),0))
This will give result of 123456 as 21.
Note:
1. Change the cell references as required.
2. Presently number is in cell A2.
3. Formula is to be entered as Array Formula, using Control+Shift+Enter, instead of Enter.

Hi,
If your task is to calculate the number of days between two dates, I'd recommend you to try out our Date & Time Wizard. To see how the add-in works, you can download and install the fully functional 14-day trial version of Ultimate Suite that contains all our add-ins for Excel (60+). After the installation, you'll find Date & Time Wizard under the Ablebits Tools tab.
If your task is different, then please describe it in more detail.

Good day
I would like to hard code the 26th of March (irrespective of the year) as the start of week 1.
Date format currently: YYYY/MM/DD
How do I go about this?
Thank you!
what does mean this formula ?
=w(B15,B16,0)
what does mean =W ?
Thanks
Tarek:
I would say the "W" is a typo. I'm not aware of an Excel function "W". Either that or maybe it is a user defined macro.
Am puting date on letter 13 May 2018.and i want on other page date is automatically added by 2 days i.e. 15 May 2018 base on date i put on letter.
I am trying to get an IF formula to recognize a date entry so if the cell G9 contains a date, then return the value in cell F6 e.g. If(G9="date",$F$6) - however my formula is returning a result of FALSE even though there is a date in G9 which is 11/07/2016 in the format of dd/mm/yyyy. Any help appreciated, I have tried everything instead of "date" in the formula, I have used "dd/mm/yyyy" "number" "datevalue" but nothing is returning back the value in F6, I'm either getting FALSE or errors of #NAME? or #VALUE?
Dear MC,
Change the formula to
=If(G9>10000,$F$6) or
=If(isnumber(G9),$f$6,"False")
In Excel date is a number.
1 Jan 1900 = 1;
2 Jan 1900 = 2 and so on.
11 July 2016 = 42562, regardless of which number format you use.
I hope this solves your problem.

Hello,
I have two sheets in excel 2007, where I enter via barcode scanner serial numbers of devices, one sheet is for direct sales and the other sheet is for credit sales.
I need a way to validate for duplicate s/n between two sheets. At this moment I am using the formula =COUNTIF(sheet1!d5:sj30000), like conditional formatting highlighting the duplicated cell. The system find duplicates very good, but becomes very, very slow.
Now I want to validate at specific time, for example in the night, when the system is not used.
Can you help me to setup time driven validation formula to trigger at specific time.
Thank you very much for your time.

Etc,

Hello!
If column A already contains dates, you can simply set this custom format for them: yyyy.mm.dd
For this, select the dates, press Ctrl+1, on the Number tab select Custom in the Category list, and type the above code in the Type box. For more information, please see How to create a custom date format in Excel.

None of the formulas above seem to allow something like this, my sheet needs 4 columns for each date, and then the next 4 columns to be 7 days after the previous 4 columns, but each has the 3 digit prefix for the date.
