Complex Date Formula
Working on a sheet that I need date calculations formulas. 1.) Need it to calculate the difference between two dates. (Pretty much have this one nailed) 2.) Once the calculation is made I need for it to give me a value back based on the difference between the two dates. Ex. Vacation accrues over time, let's say every six months you get six vacation days. I want to put a hiring date into one cell (6/1/05) and then have the calculation refer back to that cell to get the result. So based on the hire date (6/1/05) and the current date (7/18/06) I would get a result of 12 vacation days. 3.) I also need for thier to be a ceiling or a limit you could call it. So that it cannot go over maybe fifteen days. I am currently working on it now but just thought I would post it and see what other options are out there. Thanks in advance guys and gals. :) -- kermitforney ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kermitforney's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32536 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=562681 |
Complex Date Formula
Why wouldn't it be 13 days?
6/1/05 to 7/18/06 is 13 months plus! Or, are you accruing vacation time in 6 day (month) increments? If so, then where is the break point to arrive at your max of 15 days? Need some more info. -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "kermitforney" wrote in message news:kermitforney.2b5zwj_1153265711.4561@excelforu m-nospam.com...
