Contradictory results of DateDiff function
Hello,
Could anyone plz point out that what could be the probable reason for DateDiff function to give different answers for the same set of values. I am using the following: DateDiff ( "s", time1, time2) Here 'time1' is greater than 'time2'. But the DateDiff function sometimes returns a positive value and sometimes a negative value. Thanks in advance, Pallavi |

Contradictory results of DateDiff function
are you really different results for the same values?
From XL/VBA Help: If date1 refers to a later point in time than date2, the DateDiff function returns a negative number.
