DATE Formula Syntax

=DATE(2023, 12, 31)

Example Use Case

Creating a date value from year, month, and day components

Understanding the DATE Formula

The DATE function in Excel creates a valid date serial number from separate year, month, and day components. It's a date creation tool for assembling dates—like when you have individual parts or need to generate dates dynamically.

DATE(2023, 12, 31) returns the date December 31, 2023. It takes year, month, and day arguments, automatically adjusting for overflow (month>12 or day>max days in month) or underflow (month<1)—making it flexible for date calculations.

Why Use DATE?

DATE constructs dates from parts—think connecting database fields or generating dynamic dates. Its built-in validation and adjustment handles edge cases automatically, offering a reliable way to build dates regardless of input values.

Example with Sample Data

Year, Month, Day	Formula	Result
2023, 12, 31	=DATE(2023, 12, 31)	12/31/2023
2023, 15, 1	=DATE(2023, 15, 1)	3/1/2024 (automatically adjusts)
2023, 2, 29	=DATE(2023, 2, 29)	3/1/2023 (adjusts for non-leap year)

DATE builds valid dates: combines year, month, day inputs, and handles overflows intelligently. It's a date assembler.
