If I have 2 date columns how do I create a formula to subtrack? example:
(b4) November 30, 2007 and (c4) November 6, 1986. My formula is:
=month(b4)-month(c4) in column D, but I get 0 and I have formatted the
column to numbers.
I also did =month(c4)-month(b4). Is there another way to this to get the
correct #?
