Default Calculate difference between two dates

I have a spreadsheet with two date columns, a start date and an end date, eg
14/02/05 and 19/02/05. This is actually 6 days, but if I subtract one from
the other I get 5. Any ideas, please.

Hi

the "problem" is that dates are just numbers in disguise and if you have the
formula
19-14
you'll end up with the answer of 5
so if you want the maths in excel to behave differently (ie you definition
is different from excel's) you'll need to incorporate that in the formula
e.g.
=19-14+1

Cheers
