Advanced Excel - Date & Time Functions

Excel Date and Time functions can be used to extract information from, and perform operations on, Excel Dates and Times.

Some of the Excel Date & Time functions are new to Excel 2010 or Excel 2013, so are not available in earlier versions of Excel. You can find this information in the applicability section of the function.
