I have a spread sheet with the following:

# Name DOB Inauguration date Inauguration age
1 George Washington 2/22/1732 4/30/1789


I input in E2 =D2-C2, expecting to have his age in days - but I get
#Value error.

I see one problem - all of the dates older than 1900 in this spread
sheet are left justified, all of the newer ones are right justified.
It appears that I need to do something special to handle older dates.

Only when both dates are greater than 1900 do I get a subtraction of
dates.

I just don't know the solution.
