What is DATE?
Creates a date from individual year, month, and day components. Essential for building dynamic dates and date calculations.
Syntax
=DATE(year, month, day)
Example
Formula: =DATE(2025, 12, 25)
Result: 12/25/2025
How It Works
Constructs a proper Excel date from components. Automatically adjusts for overflow (month 13 becomes January of next year).
