Default Decimals on a date calculation

What do B6 and C6 actually contain? Are you trying to find out how many
years there are between two dates? If so, then you will need to do this:

= (B6-C6)/365.25

Hope this helps.

I'm calculating dates using the formula b6-c6/365.25 and get an answer
like
3.31 what does the .31 refer to? Is it nearly a third of a year i.e 4
months? I can't get my head around it!

Thanks for any help
