If you work with dates in Google Sheets, you may want to combine them to create a single date value. The DATE function in Google Sheets allows you to do this.

The syntax of the DATE function is as follows:

=DATE(year, month, day)

Where:

  • year is the year of the date you want to create
  • month is the month of the date you want to create
  • day is the day of the date you want to create

To combine date values using the DATE function, you need to reference cells containing the year, month, and day values. Here's an example:

=DATE(A1, B1, C1)

In this example, cell A1 contains the year, cell B1 contains the month, and cell C1 contains the day.

Once you enter this formula, Google Sheets will create a single date value from the separate year, month, and day values. You can then format this cell as a date to display the date value in the desired format.
