I recall wherein I had a lot of dates and I wanted to extract the day of the dates one-by-one… It was too much of a hassle! Thankfully there is Excel’s DAY Formula to do that for me!

I explain how you can do this below:

STEP 1: We need to enter the DAY function in a blank cell:

=DAY(

 

STEP 2: The DAY arguments:

serial_number

What is the date that you want to extract the day from?

Select the cell containing the date:

=DAY(C9)

Apply the same formula to the rest of the cells by dragging the lower right corner downwards.

You now have your days extracted!
