# CDate Function

Converts any string or numeric expression to a date value.

### Syntax:

    CDate (Expression)

## Return value:

### Parameters:

Expression: A string or numeric expression that you want to convert.

When you convert a string expression, the date and time must be entered either in one of the date acceptance patterns defined for your locale setting (see LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - Languages and Locales - General) or in ISO date format (momentarily, only the ISO format with hyphens, e.g. "2012-12-31" is accepted). In numeric expressions, values to the left of the decimal represent the date, beginning from December 31, 1899. Values to the right of the decimal represent the time.
