Your right on track. It is as simple as it appears, but you want something
different than your asking for.

1/2/2006 and 1/1/2006 are only one day different, so the answer is 1. Just
add 1 to the end of your formula to, in effect, calculate the days between
12/31/2005 and 1/2/2006.

i.e.,

not =a2-b2

instead =A2-(B2-1)

that should do it.

I need to calculate the number of calander days from one date to another.
For example: if the start date is January 1, 2006 and the end date is January
2, 2006, I need the answer to be 2. When I subtract January 1 from January 2
I get an answer of 1. Please help.
