Documentation rule: this VauSheet section describes the current implemented product behavior. It avoids claiming full Microsoft Excel parity or live-cursor collaboration where the current build does not provide it.
01
Date serial model
The runtime converts dates through an Excel-style serial epoch so date functions can interoperate with numeric date values.
02
TODAY and NOW
TODAY returns the current date serial. NOW adds the current time as a fraction of the day.
03
DATE, YEAR, MONTH, DAY
DATE constructs a serial date; YEAR, MONTH and DAY extract date components from a serial value.
