Default Inventory and Date Ranges

This is what my data looks like.....

A B C
D
1 Start Date End Date Quantitiy Days in Range
2 9/12/05 3/15/06 9,000,000 185
3 12/18/05 1/17/06 1,000,000 31

I need a formula distributing the quantity evenly into the applicable
months. If I was to do this manually, I would just write =(9,000,000/185*31)
for january inventory in row 2. Any ideas for a formula like this that can
read the start and end dates?

I have a large spreadsheet containing raw inventory data. The data has
inventory spanning calendar years (2005 - 2006). I need to account for
2006
inventory only. A sample of what my data looks like: 9,000,000 units sold
from 9/12/05 - 3/15/06. I need to write a formula that will evenly break
out
the 2006 units into months (daily units x days in month). I can manually
do
this for several lines, but I have thousands of lines of data. What
formula
can I use to read the date range and evenly distribute the units across
months?

Thanks!
