Default Excel formula to spread data over a period of time

Going with the idea that if your project covers x months, and you have y
hours, formula would be y / x:

=Hours/DATEDIF(Start_Date,End_Date,"m")

Note that this uses complete months. So, a start date of 1/15/09, and end
date of 3/1/09, would cause formula to use 1 full month, so a distribution of
40 hrs per month (since its only 1 month)
