If your start dt is in A1 and hire dt in b1 then enter this in C1 and copy down

=IF(B2<A2,MOD(365+B2-A2,365),MOD(B2-A2,365))

The result may be off by the number of leap years in the date range...

I would like a formula which would enable me to calculate the number of days
from a specific date. It's difficult to explain but hopefully the following
example illustrates what I need:
Example 1:
Column A: Start Date: 10/1/2005
Column B: End Date: 9/30/2006
Column C: Hire Date: 12/3/2006
Column D: Result: 63
Example 2:
Column A: Start Date: 10/1/2005
Column B: End Date: 9/30/2006
Column C: Hire Date: 9/18/04
Column D: Result: 352
The calculation is performed on the start date and the hire date giving the
result in Column D. I am not concerned with the year. Both dates can be
different years. I just need to know how many days there are from the start
date, in this case October 1, to the hire date. I hope I have explained this
clearly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
