Date And Time Functions :

1) Date: The DATE function returns the sequential serial number that represents a particular date.

Syntax :
DATE(year,month,day)

The DATE function syntax has the following arguments:
  • Year    Required. The value of the year argument can include one to four digits. Excel interprets the year argument according to the date system your computer is using. By default, Microsoft Excel for Windows uses the 1900 date system, which means the first date is January 1, 1900.
  • Month    Required. A positive or negative integer representing the month of the year from 1 to 12 (January to December).
  • Day    Required. A positive or negative integer representing the day of the month from 1 to 31.

For example: 

=DATE(C2,A2,B2)
