REMARKS
* This function can accept values outside the normal range.
* For example if you pass in the year 2020 and the month 14, it will return a date in the second month of 2021 (ie it will add 14 months).
* You can specify relative dates for each argument using any numeric expression that represents some number of days, months, or years before or after a certain date.
* When an argument exceeds the accepted range, it increments to the next larger unit as appropriate.
* If any argument is outside -32,768 to 32,767, then an error occurs.
* The "year" should be entered as a four-digit year.
* If "year" is between 0 and 29, inclusive, are interpreted as the years 2000-2029.
* If "year" is between 30 and 99 are interpreted as the years 1930-1999.
* If "year" is between 0 and 99, inclusive, are interpreted as the years 1400-1499.
* If "year" < 1, then this number is subtracted from the current year.
* If "month" = 0, then it represents December of the previous year.
* If "month" = 13, then it represents January of the next year.
* If "day" = 35, then it represents one month plus a certain number of day depending on the actual date.
* If "day" = -1, then it represents November of the previous year.
* A practical use of this function is to identify leap years << User Defined Function >>.
* You can use the DATEVALUE function to return the date given a string representation of a date.
* You can use the FORMAT function to return a text string of a number or date in a particular format.
* The equivalent .NET function is Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.DateSerial
