Biff, thank you for your support and encouragement, as always. You have no idea how much the support and advice from everyone in this forum mean to me.

Well, it's better than getting flamed by some of the idiots in other places,
isn't it?

Tell me about it. I was once harassed by a "stalker" who frequents the MS forums. He complained about me asking questions in *this* forum which he doesn't have to support. Wish my stalker can read this "Ask all the questions you like." He just read the *header* of a few of my posts and thought I was lazy and didn't use Excel Help. For those who know me, Excel Help, Google and the MVP links are my first line of support. Now you understand what I meant by drawing attention.

Oh, you know more than "a thing or two." I can't figure out how some people can be this smart.

Ask all the questions you like. How else will you learn? I'm not an expert
but I do know a thing or two about Excel and most of what I know I learned
right here. Invest some time here and before you know it you'll be answering
the questions rather than asking the questions.

Thank you Biff.

I understand what a "computer geek" is and I take it as a compliment.

I missed the "date" part. Let me tell you this. In the past, I didn't even
say DATEDIF correctly. I thought it was DATED-IF. One day, I realized its
role, and from then I knew it should be

DATE-DIF(ference)

Now, it is easy for you to understand how I missed "date" as in "dating." I
did tell you sometimes I have a unique way of interpreting things.

I am surprised about one thing. The poster doesn't frequent this board; at
least the name is not familiar to me. Looks like his post in my thread is
the only post??? Sometimes, I am concerned about the kind of attention that
I am drawing. ;)

Translation:

The observation your posted is one that only a true "computer geek" could
appreciate. Geeks are known to be nerds who have trouble getting "dates"
with the ladies/men. In this case, "dates" is a play on DATEDIF.

Don't understand what you are trying to say. Can you rephrase that please?

Not for nothing do geeks have a reputation for having problems with dates :)

My discovery on DATEDIF ("yd") and leap year

A1:A4

2/1/2007
3/1/2008
2/1/2008
3/1/2009


formula (1) =DATEDIF(A1,A2,"yd") yields 28

formula (2) =DATEDIF(A3,A4,"yd") yields 29

I understand why this is happening - the year for the first argument is
used.

I find DATEDIF and "yd" and leap year "interesting," "temperamental,"
"confusing," ...... <g

I am curious if "yd" is used often.

Welcome comments to this and my discovery.
