Date and Time Function Arguments Argument
Description
Basis (For Securities Functions)
The type of day count basis to use: 0 or omitted = US(NASD) 30/360 1 = Actual / Actual 2 = Actual / 360 3 = Actual / 365 4 = European 30/360
Date_text
A date enclosed in quotation marks that is in a date text form acceptable to Excel. Note that acceptable date forms vary with system and Excel settings.
Day
A number representing the day of the month. If day is greater than the number of days in the month specified, day aggregates the month and year arguments appropriately and day represents the balance after this aggregation
Days
The number of nonweekend and nonholiday days before or after start_date. A positive value for days yields a future date; a negative value yields a past date
End_date
The last date as an acceptable date in inverted commas or as a serial number
Holidays
An optional range of one or more dates to exclude from the working calendar. The list can be either a range of cells that contains the dates or an array constant of the serial numbers that represent the dates
Hour
A number from 0 to 32767 representing the hour. Any value greater than 23 will be divided by 24 and the remainder will be treated as the hour value
Method
FALSE or omitted = US (NASD) 30/360 method; TRUE = European 30/360 method
Minute
A number from 0 to 32767 representing the minute. Any value greater than 59 will be converted to hours and minutes
Month (For DATE function)
A number representing the month of the year. If month is greater than 12, month adds that number of months to the first month in the year specified
Months
The number of months before or after start_date
Return_type (WEEKDAY only)
A number that determines the type of return value: 1 (or omitted) 1 = Sunday; 2 = 1 = Monday; 3 = 0 = Monday
Return_type (WEEKNUM only)
A number that determines on which day the week begins; 1 (or omitted) = starts Sunday nums 1 to 7; 2 = starts Monday nums 1 to 7
Second
A number from 0 to 32767 representing the second. Any value greater than 59 will be converted to hours, minutes, and seconds
Serial_num
A date / time serial number. Dates should be entered by using the DATE function, or as results of other formulas or functions
Serial_Number
An Excel date / time serial number. Dates should be entered by using the DATE function, or as results of other formulas or functions. The Excel date serial number varies according to setting of 1900 or 1904 date system in Tools > Options > Calculation.
Start_date
The first date as an acceptable date in inverted commas or as a serial number
Time_text
A text string enclosed in quotation marks that represents a time in any one of the Excel time formats
Unit
"y" = years; "m" = months; "d" = days; "md" = days ignoring months and years; "ym" = years and months; "yd" = years and days
Year
The year number as one to four digits
