I need help calculating dates?

[jeda67]

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out a formula for the following:

I want a blank calculation spreadsheet so I can calculate the number of
days from two different dates it will never be over 365 days.
My spreadsheet will have in one cell START DATE (A2) and END DATE (A3)
and then I want the number of days to come up say in TOTAL (A4) so
what would be the formula =?????????(A2,A3) I have seen the =360DAYS()
formula and I don't think this is the right one!!!!

I would really appreciate some help.

Thanks

Are you trying to subract the later date from the earler one?. If A2 i
your start date (say 15/12/05) and the end date in A3 is later tha
this one (say 30/01/06), then the formula to calculate the number o
days between these is a3-a2. You will need to change the format of th
answer cell (A4) to General rather than Date otherwise you will get a
answer of 15/02/1900 00:00

Cheers

But format as general, Excel will try and make it a date
