True, but =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"d") should be the same as the rather simpler
formula =B1-A1. The main problem with the latter is remembering to set the
format of the result cell to General or Number, not to Date.

You could also use the DATEDIF formula. =DATEDIF(Date1, Date2, Interval)

How do you work out how many days there are between to dates using a

E.g.
11 march 1973
18 Feb. 1977
