Default counting days

Hi all

I have a sheet where I want to be able to count the days that a part on my
press has been in service
I have 2 cells that I will input the dates into
they are B5 and B6

B% is the cell that has the date that the part was last changed on
and B6 is the date it is currently being chnaged out on.
I need a formula that will count the actual days that the part had been in
service between the 2 change outs

Thanks for the help

Belvy

Try

=B6-B5

and then format the result as general (FormatCellsNumberGeneral)

=B6-B5.
Format as Number or General, not as date.
