DAY

Definition of DAY

Returns the day of the month that a specific date falls on, in numeric format.

Sample Usage

DAY(DATE(1969,7,20))

DAY(A2)

DAY(40909)

DAY("7/20/1969")

Syntax

DAY(date)

• date - The date from which to extract the day. Must be a reference to a cell containing a date, a function returning a date type, or a number.

Notes

• Ensure that the input to the function is either a reference to a cell containing a date, a function which returns a date object such as DATE, DATEVALUE or TO_DATE, or a date serial number of the type returned by the N function.

• DAY does not autoconvert number formats. Therefore, DAY(10/10/2000) is interpreted as DAY(0.005), the quotient of 10 divided by 10 divided by 2000.

• DAY returns the intuitive understanding of the day of the month, and is useful primarily in other calculations rather than to extract the day of month from a known date, as that value is easily known from reading the entire date.
