Use this function in a Date column to extract the date portion of a date/time value.
Syntax
DATEONLY(date_time)
- date_time—Reference to the date/time cell that contains the value from which you want to extract the date.
Sample usage
DATEONLY([Due Date]5)
Usage notes
- Only values in Date/Time columns in dependency-enabled project sheets and System columns include a time component. For more information, see the Column Types article.
- The DATEONLY function converts and displays time based on GMT, not the account’s time zone settings. If you use DATEONLY on a System Date column, the date produced by the function may be different from your local time zone.
Examples
On this project sheet, the Modification Date column automatically pulls the date and time of the last row update. However, you only need the date to run the specific automation for your organization.
=DATEONLY([Modification Date]@row)
