About Excel Dates

Excel uses serial numbers to store dates. In the 1900 system (Windows), day 1 is January 1, 1900. In the 1904 system (Mac), day 0 is January 1, 1904.

Note: The 1900 system has a known bug where it incorrectly treats 1900 as a leap year (inherited from Lotus 1-2-3). February 29, 1900 is day 60, but this date never existed.
