Greatest difference between a consecutive range of dates

Why not do a simple subtraction to get a column of differences between adjacent dates and then use the MAX function to give you the largest of them? -- mrice Research Scientist with many years of spreadsheet development experience ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrice's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=10931 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=565149 |
