Excel: Date Function (VBA only)


In Excel, the Date function returns the current system date.

The syntax for the Date function is:

Date()


Applies To:

  • Excel 2007, Excel 2003, Excel XP, Excel 2000

For example:

Date() would return a value such as '22/11/2003'

VBA Code

The Date function can only be used in VBA code. For example:

Dim LDate As String

LDate = Date

In this example, the variable called LDate would now contain the current system date.
