DateDif Question
I using DATE(Cell1,Cell2,"d"), the result is always 0.
I used the evalute forumula and here is what it says : Datedif(39236,39266, "d"). How can the result be 0. Cell1 and Cell2 are calculated fields with a format of custom (mmm dd yyyyy). I have tried changing the format to date but still the same effect. The calculations in the cell1 and cell2 are Date(Year(cell5), Month(cell5)+1, Day(cell6). Help - this is driving me crazy. |

DateDif Question
Try it with a little coercion:
=DATEDIF(A1+0,B1+0, "d") assuming source dates in A1, B1 (earlier/later dates) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Rob" wrote: I using DATE(Cell1,Cell2,"d"), the result is always 0.

DateDif Question
No Dice.
Here is the formula for the cell2, cell3 Cell2 = 03/15/07 cell3 = =IF(A18=" "," ",IF('Loan Summary'!$B$7,DATE(YEAR('Amortization Schedule'!B17),MONTH('Amortization Schedule'!B17),DAY('Amortization Schedule'!B17)+14),DATE(YEAR('Amortization Schedule'!B17),MONTH('Amortization Schedule'!B17)+1,DAY('Amortization Schedule'!B17)))) "Max" wrote: Try it with a little coercion: =DATEDIF(A1+0,B1+0, "d") assuming source dates in A1, B1 (earlier/later dates) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Rob" wrote: I using DATE(Cell1,Cell2,"d"), the result is always 0.

DateDif Question
Cell2 = 03/15/07
The above is not a valid date. Fix it* to be a valid date and the DATEDIF expression should work fine. *eg re-enter cell 2 as a full unambiguous date: 15 Mar 2007 -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Rob" wrote: No Dice.

DateDif Question
Why are you using DATEDIF this way, you will get the same result simply by
using =cell3-cell2 and format as general of course the reason you get zero is what others already have said, you are using text -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Rob" wrote in message ...

Suggestions: 1. Format the cell with the datedif formula as "General". 2. If you just want "days" difference, then use =C2-C1 (and format the result as number or general) --ron |
