Default Result in days and/or months

For number of months you may find =DATEDIF(A1,A2,"m") easier than Carlo's
formula.

I would like to calculate two dates and get the result in days and/or

Thanks,

Hi Scott

Let's say A1 is your first date '1.Nov 2007
A2 is your second date '14.Nov 2007

you want to have the number of days in B1:
=A2-A1
Format the cell as general, it returns 13

you want to have the number of months in B2:
=month(A2-A1) + (year(A2-A1)-1900)*12

you want to have the numbers of days, without months
=day(A2-A1)
