9.144 IDATE — Get current local time subroutine (day/month/year)

Description:

IDATE(VALUES) Fills VALUES with the numerical values at the current local time. The day (in the range 1-31), month (in the range 1-12), and year appear in elements 1, 2, and 3 of VALUES, respectively. The year has four significant digits.
