Converts any string or numeric expression to a date value.
CDate (Expression)
Date
Expression: Any string or numeric expression that you want to convert.
When you convert a string expression, the date and time must be entered either in one of the date acceptance patterns defined for your locale setting (see
) or in ISO date format (momentarily, only the ISO format with hyphens, e.g. "2012-12-31" is accepted). In numeric expressions, values to the left of the decimal represent the date, beginning from December 31, 1899. Values to the right of the decimal represent the time.
