To calculate days in a month in Excel, use the function `=DAY(EOMONTH(date,0))`. Replace `date` with a cell containing a date within the month you're interested in. This formula combines two functions: `EOMONTH`, which gets the last day of a month, and `DAY`, which calculates the day number of that date, effectively giving you the total number of days in the month.
