Date and Time 53
Extracting Date and Time Details
The following functions form the counterpart to the DateSerial and TimeSerial functions:
Day(MyDate)
returns the day of the month from MyDate.
Month(MyDate)
returns the month from MyDate.
Year(MyDate)
returns the year from MyDate.
Weekday(MyDate)
returns the number of the weekday from MyDate.
Hour(MyTime)
returns the hours from MyTime.
Minute(MyTime)
returns the minutes from MyTime.
Second(MyTime)
returns the seconds from MyTime.
These functions extract the date or time sections from a specified Date variable. The
following example checks whether the date saved in MyDate is in the year 2003.
Dim MyDate As Date
' ... Initialization of MyDate
If Year(MyDate) = 2003 Then
' ... Specified date is in the year 2003
End If
In the same way, the following example checks whether MyTime is between 12 and 14
hours.
Dim MyTime As Date
' ... Initialization of MyTime
If Hour(MyTime) >= 12 And Hour(MyTime) < 14 Then
' ... Specified time is between 12 and 14 hours
End If
The Weekday function returns the number of the weekday for the transferred date:
Dim MyDate As Date
Dim MyWeekday As String
' ... initialize MyDate
