You've answered the question yourself. 2008 was a leap year.

From 25 Feb 2005 to 25 Feb 2008 is 1095 days (3 * 365)
From 16 Apr 2005 to 16 Apr 2008 is 1096 days (3 * 365, + leap year day in

Consider the following formula:

=(Date1+1094)-Date2

If I run that formula using the following dates:

(02/25/2005+1094)-02/25/2008, the answer is -1.00.

If I run the same formula with these dates:

(04/16/2005+1094)-04/16/2008, the answer is -2.00!

HELP!! How can this happen?!

In case you're wondering, 2005 was NOT a leap year (2004 and 2008 were).
