A bug report to Microsoft would be a good idea...

I can't believe I'm the first person to have experienced this.

Right. And MS probably will not fix the "defect" lest they break
backward compatibility, either with Excel or Lotus. At least, that is
their typical response. The only good that might come from filing a
bug report is that MS will post a known-problem report (aka Knowledge
Base article). (I did not find any for DATEDIF currently.) But even
that is unlikely because DATEDIF seems to be deprecated, as others have
noted.

Be that as it may, ordinarily the benefit of filing yet-another bug
report (on the assumption that others have before you) is that
sometimes the fact that customers repeated encounter the same problem
encourages the manufacturer to do something about the problem. I don't
know if that's true for MS; honestly, I suspect it is not :-(. But it
is true for other products from major computer manufacturers. I know
because I have been on the receiving end of such bug reports, and I
have been involved in the decisions to fix or not to fix them.

But I'm curious: how does Joe User ;-), not an industry partner, file
a "bug report" against an MS product?
