Default relative time

Oops, for total days:

=(DATE(YEAR(J7),MONTH(J7)+TRUNC(J6),DAY(J7))+DAY(D ATE(YEAR(J7),MONTH(J7)+TRU
NC(J6)+1,0))*(J6-TRUNC(J6))-J7)+1

and format the cell as General (it will probably default to date).

For a start date of 1/1/2005, this returned 103.3

for a start of 12/09/2005, this returned 103.71

assume your start date is in J7 and 3.41 is in J6


=DATE(YEAR(J7),MONTH(J7)+TRUNC(J6),DAY(J7))+DAY(DA TE(YEAR(J7),MONTH(J7)+TRUN
C(J6)+1,0))*(J6-TRUNC(J6))

Ok, say I have a number representing time. For instance, 3.41 months. I

would
like to calculate (with some accuracy) to how many days this is.

I have a reference date, and I use =DAY(DATE(YEAR(B4),MONTH(B4)+1,0))
to count the days in my reference date. I'm looking to "pick apart" the

3.41
to change my formula to the next month, count the days, etc.

I could then multiply .41 to the days in the 4th month and then add them

all
together to get my end result.

Trick is, to do any of the above. Any Takers?
