I put the years 2007 onwards in cells A21 to A28, and used C21 for the
start date and D21 for the end date. Then put this formula in B21:

=IF(OR(DATE(A21+1,1,1)<=C$21,DATE(A21,1,1)D$21),0 ,IF(A21=YEAR(C
$21),DATE(A21+1,1,1)-C$21,IF(A21=YEAR(D$21),D$21-
DATE(A21,1,1)+1,DATE(A21+1,1,1)-DATE(A21,1,1))))

Copy this down column B to cover the years in column A. Play about
with different dates in C21 and D21 - it copes with leap years.

Hope this helps.

I would appreciate any suggestions for how I could go about obtaining these
results using Excel 2002.

Thanks.
