Remove Time from Date in Excel

Using INT Function

To remove time from a datetime value in Excel, use the INT function. It extracts the date by returning the integer part of the number, effectively stripping off the time.

Applying TRUNC Function

• 
  Sorting or filtering data by date regardless of the time component
•
