A2 = hire date

Returns 358 for date in A2 of June 30 2007 and 7 to 1 for July 1 2007 to
July 7 2007 respectively. Why return an empty string for dates in the
future?

I want to show the number of days between the current date (today) and the
hiring date in order to provide an indication of how many days is the
anniversary away. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Stefano
