If you assign the numbering format "Number" to a date or time value, it is converted to a number. For example, 01/01/2000 12:00 PM, converts to 36526.5. The value preceding the decimal point corresponds to the date; the value following the decimal point corresponds to the time. If you do not want to see this type of numerical date or time representation, change the number format (date or time) accordingly. To do this, select the cell containing the date or time value, call its context menu and select <emph>Format Cells</emph>. The <emph>Numbers</emph> tab page contains the functions for defining the number format.</paragraph> 49<paragraph role="heading" id="hd_id2408825" xml-lang="en-US" level="2" l10n="NEW">Date base for day zero</paragraph> 50<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id9988402" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Dates are calculated as offsets from a starting day zero.
