I have been racking my brain to figure out why my formula is not working but
now I see that when reviewing the results through the functional argument
tool I see that excel is reading the day (march 31 2010) as 39538.

On the spreadsheet it clearly shows me the correct date format but when
excel is reading the formula it is not.

Can someone help?

Thanks
