Default Using an Array to calculate the number of days between dates a

Roger / Bob,

Thankyou for your assistance, I am a long way closer to were I want to be.

Rogier,

I have 1 question about you solution. Everything appears to work perfectly
apart from 1 bit. Were the Start and End dates are the same, the value is 0.
The formula doesnt appear to account for this and I dont seem to be able to
adapt it to do so. So it break the numbers down from 1 - 5 days, 6 - 10 days
and so on ok, but it wont allow for the open and close to be the same day.

Hi

On the same sheet, in cell F1 enter 5, G1 10, H1 20 and in I1 100 (or a
large number of days that will not be exceeded)
In E2 enter Accepted, and in E3 enter Rejected
en cell F2 enter
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$2:$B$6<"")*
($B$2:$B$6-$A$2:$A$6E$1)*
($B$2:$B$6-$A$2:$A$6<=F$1)*
($C$2:$C$6=$E2))

and copy across through cells G2:I2
Copy F2:I2 down to F3

Hi,

I have a list of Start Dates starting in A2 and running down to A35. I
also
have a list of End Date strting in B2 and running down to B35 (Note:
Not all
start dates will have a corresponding end date)
Listed in C2 is a status, Approved, Rejected etc

Problem
I am trying to calculate the number of days between the start and end
date
and list it as the number approved, rejected in 5 days or less : 6 to
10 days
: 10 to 20 days or greater than 20Days
I also want to break this down by month

So i would end up with a result looking like

Stats for December
number of calls closed in <= 5 days 6 - 10 days 10 -
20
days 20@
Approved 3 2
10 0
Rejected 1 0
0 0

I can do this over several calculations using several worksheets, but
i
would like to do it in a single sheet using an array

Is this possible ?
