Let's look at some Excel DATEPART function examples and explore how to use the DATEPART function in Excel VBA code:
DatePart("yyyy", "15/10/2012")
Result: 2012
DatePart("m", "15/10/2012")
Result: 10
DatePart("d", "15/10/2012")

For example:
Dim LValue As Integer
LValue = DatePart("d", "15/10/2012")
In this example, the variable called LValue would now contain the value of 15.
