Dates again
Is it there a way to substract 2 cells with different dates and get a result
in year,months and days. WAIT! not that easy: The second date (B1) could be today or close as in 1900, 2000... The first date(A1), that's the one giving me the problem because it could be in 1776, 1492 etc. THANKS. |

Thanks Mike for your response, that assumes there is not other way to do it.
I'm concern about an addin I installed once(not related to date) that even when I turn it off keeps giving me message that "the workbook has an add in..." everytime I open the workbook, but hey, chances are risky and thanks again. Thank you also FST1.

I share you concerns about addins of dubious origing but something produced
by John Walkenbach comes with a pretty impressive pedigree so I don't think you need worry about this one.

Well my issue not to upgrade and find out myself is the same wordwide and
most popular issue of all of us:money( cost around 150.00). However if you get the opportunity to upgrade and find out for yourself then do it and don't let no one decide for you if is good or bad. This advice comes from a person that everyone told " Vista is a piece of ..." , got a new computer with VISTA and found out that in reality Vista is a piece of ... not the best example, but the moral is that I find out by myself. New things are different but usually improved and most people dont like them. Worst of Vista is the compatibility problem. However whenever I get the chance(and the money), for sure I'll buy XL 2007 and post back. Thanks Mike for your time and help.

hi
i don't have 2007 and for the same reasons as mike but i do know that 2007 uses the same 1900/1904 date keeping system used by previouse xl versions so i would guess that the pre-1900 date problem has not be addressed yet. I have not seen all of the new functions yet and perhaps may not until i have 07 but thats the way it goes. Regards FSt1 "Excelfan" wrote: Thanks a lot for the reassurance Mike.
