To be a bit more informative:
DATE$ returns a string representation of the date. LEFT$ takes a string and returns the first X characters of it.
E.g. LEFT$("I am weak", 2) would return the string "I "
In this case the day and month will be the first 5 characters of the date returned by DATE$ so LEFT$ is perfect.
