How to convert excel dates into decimal dates

Показать описание
I have found three methods to convert excels dates into decimal dates where the year is represented by the whole number and the months and days are represented by everything after the decimal place as a fraction of a year.
Method 1=(date/365.25)+1900
Method 2=year+(month/12)-(1/12)+(day/365.25)
Method 3=YEARFRAC(date,0,1)+1900

Thank you, that is very helpful and well explained. I used the first method. Could you just confirm for me, what would be the formula to do the opposite (convert from a decimal to the usual format date)?

This is the best way I have found: (If you have a date in A1) =YEARFRAC(DATE(YEAR(A1), 1, 1), A1, 1)+YEAR(A1)

For other years which are not a leap year then, why are we dividing every date by 365.25?
