Hello,

Thank you for the reply. I can't seem to get the formula to work correctly.

Today's Date is 4/20/09
Start Date is 11/01/08

I was hoping to get the answer of 6 (for 6 months with April being rounded
up).

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your help!

Best Regards,

Rob

Hello. I have a spreadsheet that has two cells -- Cell One is always today's
date using formula =Today(). The second cell is a date in the past. How can
I calculate the number of months that have passed (rounded up) from the past
date until today's date? I am hoping to see a number like "7" or "9" and not
days.

Thanks for your help!
