Updated for Excel 2016. Calculations with dates and times are among the most common spreadsheet operations, and Excel's capabilities go far beyond routine TODAY and DATE formulas. Author Tim Hill shows you how to use worksheet functions, array formulas, AutoFill, and other Excel features to work with date and time values. If you're using an older version of Excel that doesn't support the latest worksheet functions, you'll find equivalent formulas that work in Excel 2003 or earlier.
