Returns the day of a date, represented by a serial number. The day is given as an integer ranging from 1 to 31.
Syntax
DAY(serial_number)
Serial_number is the date of the day you are trying to find.
Remarks
-
Dates are stored as sequential serial numbers so they can be used in calculations. By default, December 31, 1899 is serial number 1, and January 1, 2008 is serial number 39448 because it is 39,448 days after January 1, 1900.
-
Values returned by the YEAR, MONTH and DAY functions will be Gregorian values regardless of the display format for the supplied date value. For example, if the display format of the supplied date is Hijri, the returned values for the YEAR, MONTH and DAY functions will be values associated with the equivalent Gregorian date.
