Hi jeff Wu In excel every date has some number corresponding to it it. and it start at the date "01-jan-1900" for this date the number is 1 and for the date "02-jan-1900" the number is 2 and so on. so whenever we do any calculation first the date is converted into its corresponding number and then only its result is evluated.
*And in your case you can see the corresponding number of the date April 7 2003 is 37718 you nac see this just format the cell B3 as number.* Hope it will provide you more clear view about the Date.
