When a date format is applied to this value in a cell, the number 44502 can be displayed as “November 2, 2021”, “2-Nov-21”, etc. If the number is instead 44502.5, it is called a “datetime” because it contains both a date and time. This is equivalent to the following formula: If a date format that includes time is applied to a cell with that contains 44502.5, the value can be displayed as “November 2, 2021 12:00”, “Nov 2 12:00 PM”, etc. In short, any date serial number that includes a decimal value can be considered a datetime.
