This number (+2) is used in the Microsoft Excel date functions such as DAY(serial_number) and WEEKDAY().

Note, Excel's serial number is 2 higher than the number on this page.

• In Excel January 1 is serial number 1. In this converter midnight January 1, 1900 is 0, after 1 day it is midnight on January 2. To correct this you have to add/subtract 1.
• Excel incorrectly sees 1900 as a leap year (for compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3) so you have to add/subtract 1 to all days when using in Excel. Also see: Excel incorrectly assumes that the year 1900 is a leap year
