Display the days between start & end date columns
I have two columns one labeled start date, the other Date Completed. I have
a third column where I need to display how many days it took to complete the process from start to finish. Do I need a macro? I have no idea how to format the third column to calculate the days between the other two. |
Display the days between start & end date columns
Hi,
Try this un-documented formula =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"d") For help on this formula look here http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datedif.aspx -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

Display the days between start & end date columns
Assume that in A2 cell you are having the START DATE and in B2 cell is the
END DATE. Copy and paste the below formula in C2 cell =IF(AND(A2<"",B2<""),DATEDIF(A2,B2,"D"),"") Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps! -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "Pat Briggs" wrote: I have two columns one labeled start date, the other Date Completed.

Display the days between start & end date columns
Just subtract the start date from the end date.
A1 = start date = 1/1/2010 B1 = end date = 1/31/2010 =B1-A1 Format as General or Number Result = 30 Copy down as needed. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Pat Briggs" wrote in message ...
