Copy the code below and paste it into your script. You will see my comments in green if exist so follow the help to adapt to your need.
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) { // change sheet1 by yours let sheet = workbook.getWorksheet("Sheet1"); // change A2 by yours where it is the date const dnum = sheet.getRange("A2").getValue() as number; const dcvt = new Date((dnum - 25569) * 86400000); // for day, change getMonth() + 1 by getDate() // for year, change getMonth() + 1 by getFullYear() let dext = dcvt.getMonth()+1; // change B2 by yours where to put the result // cell should be formatted as "general" sheet.getRange("B2").setValue(`${dext}`) }
