Синтаксис

DateAdd(interval, number, date)

Параметры

Параметр	Описание
interval	Обязательный параметр. Строковое выражение из спецсимволов, представляющее интервал времени, который требуется добавить.
number	Обязательный параметр. Числовое выражение, задающее количество интервалов, которые необходимо добавить. Может быть как положительным (возвращается будущая дата), так и отрицательным (возвращается предыдущая дата).

End Sub

Разберем подробнее строку DateSerial(2020, 1, 400):

400 дней = 366 дней + 31 день + 3 дня;
366 дней = 1 год, так как по условию month:=1, значит февраль 2020 входит в расчет, а в нем – 29 дней;
31 день = 1 месяц, так как сначала заполняется январь (по условию month:=1);
3 дня – остаток.

В итоге получается:

DateSerial(2020+1, 1+1, 3) = DateSerial(2021, 2, 3)

Date() — возвращает текущую системную дату. Установить ее можно при помощи одноименного оператора, например, так:
Time() — возвращает текущее системное время
Now() — возвращает дату и время вместе.
DateAdd() — возможность добавить к дате указанное количество лет, кварталов, месяцев и так далее — вплоть до секунд. Интервалы(год, месяц и т.д.) указываются в текстовом формате. Список допустимых значений:
«yyyy» Год
«q» Квартал
«m» Месяц
«y» День года
«d» День
«w» День недели
«ww» Неделя
«h» Час
«n» Минута
«s» Секунда
Сам синтаксис обращения незамысловат. Сначала указываем интервал, затем сколько единиц добавить и самый последний аргумент — к какой дате(включая время, кстати). Например, чтобы добавить 3 года к текущей дате-времени, надо записать функцию так:
MsgBox DateAdd(«yyyy», 3, Now)
Но что интереснее — можно не только добавлять, но и отнимать. Функция не изменится, мы просто должны записать кол-во добавляемых периодов со знаком минус. Отнимем три года от текущей даты-времени:
MsgBox DateAdd(«yyyy», -3, Now)
DateDiff() — возможность получить разницу между датами (опять таки в единицах от лет до секунд).
```
    Dim lDaysCnt As Long
    lDaysCnt = DateDiff("d", "20.11.2012", Now)
    MsgBox "С 20.11.2012 прошло дней: " & lDaysCnt
```
Первый аргумент определяет период времени, в котором необходимо вернуть разницу между датами. Допустимые значения:
«yyyy» Год
«q» Квартал
«m» Месяц
«y» День года
«d» День
«w» День недели
«ww» Неделя
«h» Час
«n» Минута
«s» Секунда
Наиболее полезна DateDiff при вычислении полных лет. Например, чтобы вычислить сколько лет на текущий момент человеку, в зависимости от даты рождения, можно использовать функцию так:
```
MsgBox DateDiff("yyyy", "20.12.1978", Now)
```
Без этой функции вычислить кол-во полных лет гораздо сложнее.
DatePart() — функция возвращает указанную часть даты (например, только год, только месяц или только день недели), на основании заданной даты. Часто применяется для получения номера недели для даты.
Первый аргумент — период времени. Принимаемые значения те же, что и для функции DateDiff(годы, месяцы, недели и т.д.)
Второй аргумент — непосредственно дата, часть которой необходимо получить:
```
MsgBox "Номер недели года: " & DatePart("ww", Now)
```
DateSerial() — возможность создать значение даты, задавая месяц, год и день числовыми значениями:

MsgBox DateSerial(2012, 6, 7)

DateValue()— делает то же, что и DateSerial(). Отличия — в формате принимаемых значений. Эта функция в качестве аргумента принимает дату в текстовом формате и преобразует её в формат даты:
```
    MsgBox DateValue("07.06.12")
```
Аналогичным образом (для времени) работают TimeSerial() и TimeValue()
Day(), Year(), Month(), Weekday(), Hour(), Minute(), Second() — специализированные заменители функции DatePart(), которые возвращают нужную часть даты/времени (которую именно — видно из названия).
MonthName() — возвращает имя месяца словами по его номеру. Возвращаемое значение зависит от региональных настроек. Если они русские, то вернется русское название месяца.
Timer() — возвращает количество секунд, прошедших с полуночи.

Excel VBA Date

There are some functions which are really very handy, and we choke our life without those functions being a VBA user. DATE function is one of those functions which can be really very useful at times and can make life easier for a programmer. In an Excel spreadsheet, there is a function called TODAY() which gives the current date as a result based on the system date. On similar lines, VBA has DATE function which gives current date based on the system date.

The VBA DATE function returns the current date based on system date as a result and has really very simple syntax.

This function does not have any argument to be passed comes with the name of the function and empty parentheses. It is not mandatory to add the parentheses as well while calling this function. Isn’t this function really simple in nature?

The syntax of DATE function in VBA.

How to Use Excel VBA Date Function?

We will learn how to use a VBA Date function with few examples in excel.

You can download this VBA Date Excel Template here – VBA Date Excel Template

VBA Date Function – Example #1

Suppose, you wanted to see the current date in MsgBox. How can you do that? Just follow the steps below and you’ll be through.

Step 1: Insert a new module in your Visual Basic Editor.

Step 2: Define a sub-procedure to write create and save a macro.

Code:

Sub DateEx1()

End Sub

Step 3: Define a variable named CurrDate which can hold the value of the current date. Since, we are about to assign a date value to the variable, make sure you are defining it as a date.

Code:

Sub DateEx1()

Dim CurrDate As Date

End Sub

Step 4: Using the assignment operator, assign a value of the current system date to the variable newly created. You just need to add DATE in order to assign the date value. Use the following piece of code:

Code:

Sub DateEx1()

Dim CurrDate As Date

CurrDate = Date

End Sub

Step 5: Use MsgBox to be able to see the current system date under Message Box prompt. Use the line of code given below:

Code:

Sub DateEx1()

Dim CurrDate As Date

CurrDate = Date

MsgBox "Today's Date is: " & CurrDate

End Sub

Step 6: Hit F5 or run button manually to Run this code. You’ll be able to see a Message Box as shown in below screenshot with the current date.

Note that, the date shown here in the screenshot is the date I have run this script at. You may be getting a different date at the time you run this code, based on your system date.

This is the simplest example of getting the current date. You can also use Cells.Value function to get the date value in a particular cell of your excel sheet.

VBA Date Function – Example #2

Home Loan EMI payment due date

Suppose I have a worksheet and I need a system to show me a message “Hey! You need to pay your EMI today.” Every time I open my sheet and the value in cell A1 is the current system date. Let’s see step by step how we can do that.

Step 1: Insert a new module and define a new sub-procedure named auto_open() to create a macro. auto_open() allows your macro to run automatically every time you open the worksheet.

Code:

Sub auto_open()

End Sub

Step 2: Use If condition to assign the value of the current date in cell A1 of worksheet HomeLoan_EMI.

Code:

Sub auto_open()

If Sheets("HomeLoan_EMI").Range("A1").Value = Date

End Sub

Step 3: Now, use Then on the same line after IF so that we can add a statement which will execute as long as if-condition is true.

Code:

Sub auto_open()

If Sheets("HomeLoan_EMI").Range("A1").Value = Date Then

End Sub

Step 4: Add a statement to be executed for the condition which is true.

Code:

Sub auto_open()

If Sheets("HomeLoan_EMI").Range("A1").Value = Date Then

MsgBox ("Hey! You need to pay your EMI today.")

End Sub

This statement will pop-up under Message Box as soon as the If a condition is true.

Step 5: As we know, every IF condition always needed an Else condition. Add an Else condition to this loop.

Code:

Sub auto_open()

If Sheets("HomeLoan_EMI").Range("A1").Value = Date Then

MsgBox ("Hey! You need to pay your EMI today.")

Else

Exit Sub

End Sub

This else condition will terminate the automatic opening of Macro if a date in cell A1 is not the current system date.

Step 6: Finally, End the IF loop by using statement End IF.

Code:

Sub auto_open()

If Sheets("HomeLoan_EMI").Range("A1").Value = Date Then

MsgBox ("Hey! You need to pay your EMI today.")

Else

Exit Sub

End If

End Sub

Step 7: This is it, now every time you open your worksheet the system will automatically run the above code and see if the date value in cell A1 is your EMI due date or not. If the EMI due date equals to the system date, it will show the message as below:

VBA Date Function – Example #3

VBA Date to Find out the Credit Card Bill Payee

Suppose I have a list of customers who have a credit card and you want to know who has payment due today. So that you can call them and ask them to pay their due immediately by EOD.

VBA Date could be handy in allowing you to automate the things instead of checking the dates one by one. Let’s see how to do this step by step:

Step 1: Define a New macro using a sub-procedure under a module.

Code:

Sub DateEx3()

End Sub

Step 2: Define two new variables one of which will be useful in looping the code up and another one in order to hold the value of the current system date.

Code:

Sub DateEx3()
Dim DateDue As Date
Dim i As Long
DateDue = Date
i = 2
End Sub

Step 3: Now use the following piece of code which helps in searching the person who has a credit card bill due date as the current system date. This code allows checking the Customer who has bill payment due on the current system date along with the bill amount.

Code:

Sub DateEx3()
Dim DateDue As Date
Dim i As Long
DateDue = Date
i = 2
For i = 2 To Sheets("CC_Bill").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If DateDue = DateSerial(Year(DateDue), Month(Sheets("CC_Bill").Cells(i, 3).Value), 
Day(Sheets("CC_Bill").Cells(i, 3).Value)) Then
MsgBox "Customer Name : " & Sheets("CC_Bill").Cells(i, 1).Value & vbNewLine 
& "Premium Amount : " & Sheets("CC_Bill").Cells(i, 2).Value
End If
Next i
End Sub

Step 4: Run this code by hitting F5 or Run button manually and see the output.

On the first iteration, we can see that Mohan is the one who has Bill of 12,900 due on 29-Apr-2019 (Current system date on which this code is run). If we hit OK, we can see the next customer name who has a bill due on 29-Apr-2019 (Rajani is the next).

This code will really be handy when you are having millions of rows of customers who have their bill due on one particular day. Please note that all the scripts mentioned in this article are run on 29-Apr-2019. You might get different date value when you run this sample codes based on the system date.

Things to Remember

VBA DATE function returns the current system date and as parallel to Excel’s TODAY() function.
VBA DATE function does not have any argument to be passed in excel. Doesn’t even need the parentheses to be called while using this function in the code.
VBA DATE is a non-volatile function in excel.
VBA stores Date values as DATE at the time of execution. So, does not define a variable holding value as a String/Integer. It will cause an error during execution of the code.

——————————————————

Working with dates and times in Excel VBA can be tricky. There are a number of ways to represent dates in Excel. It is important to ensure that the Date will actually remain the date value which you actually mean to refer or use in your code. Date format is dependent on the regional and date-specific settings of your system / computer, and lack of understanding in using date functions can result in varying formats or incorrect interpretations. Excel VBA Date Functions are used in your code to work with and manipulate dates & times; to validate date values; convert serial numbers or strings to date formats; extract date parts like day, week, month & year; add and subtract date and time intervals; use the current date, the current time, or the day of the week; and so on.

We have explained in detail various aspects of using Dates & Times in Excel VBA, and also the Format Function to use Predefined Named Formats & to create User-Defined Formats, in our separate section of «Excel VBA Dates & Time, Format Function, User Defined Date, Number & String Formats». In this section we deal with some important Excel VBA Date Functions.

VBA DateSerial Function

The VBA DateSerial Function returns (Date value) a date for a specified year, month and day. Syntax: DateSerial(year, month, day). All 3 arguments are necessary to specify. Year argument is an Integer, can be a number within the range 100 and 9999, or can be a numeric expression. Month argument is an Integer, can be a number within a valid range of 1 and 12, or can be a numeric expression. Day argument is an Integer, can be a number within a valid range of 1 and 31, or can be a numeric expression. A numeric expression can also be used to specify relative dates for each argument, say, to represent a number of years or months or days before or after a specific date.

When values supplied for an argument exceeds its acceptable range, the increment will be to the next applicable unit, for example, supplying 14 as the value for the month argument will increment to the second month (February) of the next year. The Function will return an error in the case of any argument value being outside the range -32,768 to 32,767 or in case the final date (after evaluating the 3 arguments) falls outside the valid date range.

The supplied values for the year, month & day arguments are assumed to be Gregorian or Hijri, as per the Calendar property setting if Gregorian or Hijri. The Function returns the date part in the time period units of the current Calendar, so that if the date part to be returned is the year, the year value is a Gregorian year where the current Calendar is Gregorian.

It is advisable to use a four-digit year to ensure returning the correct Date by using this Function. Earlier versions of Windows interpret two-digit years based on certain defaults: Specifying two-digit years for the year argument are read as per user-defined desktop settings in Windows 98 or Windows 2000 systems, wherein the default settings read values from 0 to 29 as the years 2000 to 2029 and values from 30 to 99 as the years 1930 to1999 and for all other years the four-digit year is used.

Sub DateSerialFunc_1()

Dim MyDate As Variant

MyDate = DateSerial(2012, 5,

‘returns «5/8/2012»

MsgBox MyDate

‘returns «May 08, 2012»

‘specify relative dates for an argument, using a numeric expression

‘returns «5/17/2010» (2 years before and 9 days later than the specified date of «5/8/2012»)

MsgBox DateSerial(2012 — 2, 5, 8 + 9)

End Sub

Sub DateSerialFunc_2()

Dim MyDate As Variant

‘Date increments to the second month (February) of the next year

MyDate = DateSerial(2012, 14,

‘returns «2/8/2013»

MsgBox MyDate

‘returns «February 08, 2013»

MsgBox Format(MyDate, «mmmm dd, yyyy»)

‘returns «7/5/2013»

MsgBox MyDate

‘returns «July 05, 2013»

MsgBox Format(MyDate, «mmmm dd, yyyy»)

‘—————-

‘gives a run time error — value for any argument is outside the range -32,768 to 32,767:

MyDate = DateSerial(2012, 32768, 5)

‘—————-

‘gives a run time error — final date (per the 3 arguments) falls outside the valid date range:

MyDate = DateSerial(9999, 16, 5)

End Sub

VBA DateValue Function

Use the DateValue function to convert a string to a Date (Date value). Syntax: DateValue(date). The date argument can be a string expression representing a date, or any expression representing a date or time or both. The expression should represent a date within the range January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999.

Refer below example which illustrates in detail on using the DateValue Function.

VBA TimeSerial Function

The VBA TimeSerial Function returns a Time (Date value) for a specified hour, minute & second. Syntax: TimeSerial(hour, minute, second). All 3 arguments are necessary to specify.The hour argument is an Integer, a number within a valid range of 0 and 23, and can be any numeric expression. The minute argument is an Integer, a number within a valid range of 0 and 59, and can be any numeric expression. The second argument is an Integer, a number within a valid range of 0 and 59, and can be a numeric expression. A numeric expression can also be used to specify relative times for each argument, say, to represent a number of hours or minutes or seconds before or after a specific time.

When values supplied for an argument exceeds its acceptable range, the increment will be to the next applicable unit, for example, supplying 70 as the value for the minute argument will increment to the ten minutes of the next hour. The Function will return an error in the case of any argument value being outside the range -32,768 to 32,767 or in case the final date (after evaluating the 3 arguments) falls outside the valid date range.

End Sub

VBA IsDate Function

The VBA IsDate Function is used to check if an expression is a Date or the expression can be converted to a valid Date or Time — the function returns True in this case, else False is returned. Syntax: IsDate(expression). Valid date can range from January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999 in Microsoft Windows operating system (will vary for different systems).

Sub IsDateFunc()

Dim var As Variant

var = «12/18/2011«

‘returns True (valid date)

MsgBox IsDate(var)

var = «18/12/2011«

‘returns True (valid date)

MsgBox IsDate(var)

var = «18/15/2011«

‘returns False (invalid date)

MsgBox IsDate(var)

var = «24 Jan, 2001«

‘returns True (valid date)

MsgBox IsDate(var)

var = «June 31, 2001«

‘returns False (invalid date)

MsgBox IsDate(var)

var = «18.12.11«

‘returns True (valid Time)

MsgBox IsDate(var)

var = «18.12.2011«

‘returns False (invalid Time)

MsgBox IsDate(var)

var = 21345

‘returns False (invalid Date/Time)

MsgBox IsDate(var)

VBA DateAdd Function

Use the VBA DateAdd Function to add or subtract a specified time interval to a Date — it returns (Date value) a future or past Date after adding or subtracting the specified time interval. Syntax: DateAdd(interval, number, date). All 3 arguments are necessary to specify. Interval argument is a String value, specifying the time interval you wish to add or subtract. Number argument is a numeric specifying the number of time intervals — use a positive number for future dates and a negative to get past dates. Date argument specifies the Date (Variant) to which you want to add or subtract the time interval.

Settings for the interval argument: yyyy — Year; q — Quarter; m — Month; y — Day of Year; d — Day; w — Weekday; ww — Week; h — Hour; n — Minute; s — Second.

Note that the Date returned by the function is as per your system-defined date format, and not by the format used in date argument.

Using Find Method to Search for a Date

Using a Valid Excel Date and Format: Using the Find Method to Find or Search a Date can be tricky. The date format should correspond to the default date format as set in your desktop/Windows which, unless specifically changed, should be in its standard format of «Short Date» or «Long Date’, viz. «1/22/2010» or «January 22, 2010». It does not matter in which date format it is displayed in the worksheet, only it should be a valid Excel date equating to a valid serial number.

Example — Search for a date within a range — refer Image 1.

Sub FindMethod_SearchDate()
‘Search for a date within a range — refer Image 1.
‘user enters the date he wants to find in Range («D2») — he enters the serial number 41200 in this cell;

‘user wants to find the date in search Range («A1:A100») — the range «$A$5» is returned in this example because the serial number 41200 corresponds to the date 18-Oct-12 which is entered in cell A5.

Dim rngFound As Range, rngSearch As Range, rngLast As Range

Dim strDate As String

‘search range to find the date:

Set rngSearch = ActiveSheet.Range(«A1:A100«)

Set rngLast = rngSearch.Cells(rngSearch.Cells.Count)

‘user enters the date he wants to find in Range: ActiveSheet.Range(«D2»).

‘Format(«7/18/10», «Short Date») returns «7/18/2010»; Format(«7/18/10», «Long Date») returns «Sunday, July 18, 2010».

‘Format Function in vba: Display a date according to your system’s short date format using «Short Date»; and using «Long Date» displays a date according to your system’s long date format.

strDate = Format(ActiveSheet.Range(«D2«), «Short Date»)

‘The IsDate function returns True if the expression is a valid date, else it returns False.

If IsDate(strDate) = False Then

MsgBox «Incorrect Date Format»

Exit Sub

End If

‘CDate converts a number or text string to a Date data type. CDate(40200) returns «1/22/2010»; CDate(«October 15, 2009») returns «10/15/2009»; CDate(«2:25:15 PM») returns «2:25:15 PM»; CDate(«hello») returns an error.

Set rngFound = rngSearch.Find(What:=CDate(strDate), After:=rngLast, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then

‘return range address ($A$5 — in this example) if date is found:

MsgBox rngFound.Address

Else

‘if date is not found in search range:

MsgBox «Date Not Found»

End If

End Sub
