The "d" is the parameter that tells datedif what units to give the
difference in, in this case, days.

It's in double quotes because it has to be in quotes in the final
formula.

I'm trying to insert the following formula into my spreadsheet using
the following code

'insert formula =IF(G2<"",DATEDIF(G2,H2,"d")+1,"")

.cells(lnextrow,"I").formula="=IF(G" & lprevsumrow &
"<" & """" _
& ",DATEDIF(G" & lprevsumrow & ",H" & lprevsumrow &
"," & ""d"" & _
")+1, "& """" & ")"

The row will not always be 2, but will be a long variable called
lPrevSumRow.

I'm getting an "end of statement" compile error, highlighting the d in
double quotes. I'm missing something in the syntax. But what the *&^%
is it?

Thanks again.
