The term date is used to refer to both dates and times. Dates are represented numerically as floating-point numbers. The integer part of the number represents the date as the number of days since December 30, 1899 (with negative numbers for prior dates), and the fractional part of the number represents the time of day as a fraction of the 24-hour day.
To set a date value, you can use any of the commonly accepted formats placed between # (pound) symbols
