Whenever we input time in an excel without any format, we get a number which is
1/1/1900 - (dd/mm/yyyy) you enter a data number. If we use number and decimal in it without changing the format we get time also with the data. We have to change the format as per our need and demand.

Current date = today()
=TODAY()

But it will change every day.
We want today’s date but fix it. Ctrl + ;

Current time = now()
=NOW()
But it will change every day.
We want today’s date but fix it. Ctrl + SHIFT + :

DAYS :- Calculates the number of days between two dates.
=DAYS(end_date, start_date)

Datediff :- DIFFERENCE BETWEEN dates :-
=DATEDIF(start_date, end_date, "unit")
we can get year, month, days, month-day, year-month.

Networkdays : - It helps us to network working days, we can NOT decide the weekends DAYS.
=NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date, [holidays])

Networkdays.INTL : - It helps us to network working days, we can decide the weekends DAYS.
=NETWORKDAYS.INTL(start_date, end_date, [weekend], [holidays])
