If you have dates that include time, you can use the INT function to extract just the date part. The INT function returns the integer portion of a number that includes a decimal value. So, assuming A1 contains the date and time, June 1, 2000 12:00 PM (equivalent to the number 36678.5), the formula below returns just the date portion (36678): The time portion of the value (the fractional part) is discarded. To see the result formatted as a date, be sure to apply a date number format. Make sure you use a date format that does not include a time. Otherwise, you’ll see the time displayed as 12:00 AM.
