Default why isn't this formula calculating correctly?

So how do I get Excel to determine that 3/31/2006 and 4/30/2006 are, in fact,
a month apart?

Here's the formula:
=IF(I$6<$G14,"",IF($F14<0,"N/A",IF(DATEDIF($G14,I$6,"m")/$B$3*$F14$F14,"",DATEDIF($G14,I$6,"m")/$B$3*$F14)))
I6 is 4/30/2006, G14 is 3/31/2006, F14 is $85,968, B3 is 48

I think it should resolve to 1/48*$85,968 = $1,791. But excel is
calculating it as $0.00.
Thoughts?


DATEDIF() is returns zero for those two dates. Apparently DATEDIF()
does not consider them to be a month apart.
