March 0

March 0

March 0 is an imaginary date. This formulation may be used in software such as Microsoft Excel as a way of allowing for the variable length of months and leap years.[1] It can also be used as a term for half-birthdays of people born on August 29, 30, or 31.

"March 0" is sometimes used by astronomers as a synonym for the last day of February.[2]
