Calculating days between two dates
April 21, 1900 corresponds to the number 112. Your cell is formatted as a
date. Nov 17, 2006 was 112 days ago. Dave -- A hint to posters: Specific, detailed questions are more likely to be answered than questions that provide no detail about your problem.

The cell where you had put your formula is formatted as a date. Format it as
"General". Format-Cells, in the Number tab, select "General" in the Category list. "lledelen" wrote: Hope someone can help.
