Datedif()
I agree that this is a newsgroup, but why have a dropdown for "suggestion for
microsoft" if not to provide for suggestions - and it appears people can vote for the suggestion. What am I missing? "Bernard Liengme" wrote: This is a newsgroup of your peers.

Datedif()
The function datedif()
has the format =datedif(date1,date2,"d") for number of days between the two dates or =datedif(date1,date2,"m") for number of complete months between the two dates or =datedif(date1,date2,"y") for number of complete years between the two dates it even allows other combinations - but not complete weeks. please note that date1 has to be less than date2 for this funtion to work. I agree that there are other ways to "get" the answer, but if the function is there - having a "week" selection doesn't seem unreasonable. "Bob I" wrote: Umm, there is no week in a Date.

You are right, one tends to forget that a majority of people posting here
is using the web interface and not a newsreader. Btw they won't touch that function with a 10 foot pole. It is only documented in Excel 2000. Weeks are easy enough, =(end_date-start_date)/7 or maybe include round so you don't get any decimals -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Brad" wrote in message ...

Peo -
I suspect you are right about them not 'touching' datedif; however, it is very interesting that there is a robust DATEDIFF() function in SQL Server that IS documented and that DOES have a WEEK argument. Matter of fact, it does QUARTERS, HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS, and MILLISECONDS, too. Odd, eh?
