Extract date parts from a date

Beginner

Date fields are often used for filtering, grouping, and reporting. In this exercise, you will extract separate month, day, and year values from each date.

Use these functions:

=MONTH(date)
=DAY(date)
=YEAR(date)

For example, =YEAR("2023-7-22") returns 2023.

What you need to do

  1. Fill column C with the month number from column B.
  2. Fill column D with the day number from column B.
  3. Fill column E with the year from column B.

Goal

Each row should show month, day, and year values extracted from the date in column B.

Need some help?

Hint 1

Use MONTH, DAY, and YEAR on the date in the same row.

Hint 2

The DATE function shown in column B creates a real date value from year, month, and day inputs.

Hint 3

Start in row 2, then copy across and down so each row returns month, day, and year from column B.
