The DAY() Function Knowledgebase  

 

The DAY function returns a day of the month when given a date value.

  • The syntax for the function is DAY (date) . The "date" must be a date value or a recognizable date format in Excel.

Excel recognizes other date formats and automatically converts them into date values then the day of the month is extracted from the date value and a number is given between 0 and 31.
For example: DAY (14-May-2003) = 14 and DAY (12/31/2003) = 31.

In addition the DAY function can extract the day of the month directly from the date value DAY(39099) =17.


How to use the DAY() function:

  • Type " =DAY( "
  • Enter the corrdinate of the data cell "A2"
  • Type ")" then press the "Enter" key.

 



Note: Make sure the cell is formatted as "general". If the cell is formatted as a date the DAY function will display a the full date. as represented by the date value argument.
