Arguments expression
The expression argument is any valid expression
Return An expression converted to a Currency value

your system.

myDouble = 543.214588 'myDouble is a Double.
myCurr = CCur(myDouble * 2) 'Multiply by * 2 and convert
MsgBox myCurr ‘Result 1086.4292 (based on local PC settings)
CDate
Description Returns an expression that has been converted to a Variant of subtype Date.
Usage dateVal = CDate(date)
Arguments The date argument is any valid date expression, of numeric or string type .
Remarks Use the IsDate function to determine if date can be converted to a date or time. CDate
recognizes date literals and time literals as well as some numbers that fall within the range of
acceptable dates. When converting a number to a date, the whole number portion is converted to
a date. Any fractional part of the number is converted to a time of day, starting at midnight.
CDate recognizes date formats according to the locale setting of your system. The correct order
of day, month, and year may not be determined if it is provided in a format other than one of the
recognized date settings. In addition, a long date format is not recognized if it also contains the
day-of-the-week string.
If your PC is set to the American date format (mm/dd/yy), and you enter the British date format
(dd/mm/yy) in a text box, the CDate function will convert it to the American mm/dd/yy format.
The following example uses the CDate function to convert a string to a date. In general, hard
coding dates and times as strings (as shown in this example) is not recommended. Use date and
time literals (such as #10/19/1962#, #4:45:23 PM#) instead.

Example myDate = "October 19, 1962" 'Define date.
myShortDate = CDate(myDate) 'Convert to Date data type.
myTime = "4:35:47 PM" 'Define time.
myShortTime = CDate(myTime) 'Convert to Date data type
myShortDate = CDate(#04/18/2006#) ‘myShortDate holds value 4/18/2006
