Counting Days or Months
 

Hello,

I'm trying to take a column containing past dates (in the format:
MM/DD/YYYY); compare it to a CONSTANT, more current date (e.g. 04/01/2007);
calculate the difference in the number of days (my first choice) or months
(second choice); then populate that result in a corresponding column in that
same Excel sheet.

Your help is always appreciated and thanks in advance!

Hi,

It's done with subtratction and format the cell as general. For example with
your constant date in C1 and your earlier dates in column A in B1 try:-

=$c$1-A1

Drag down.

For days it's a simple subtraction

=current_date-past_date


format result as general


for months


=DATEDIF(past_date,current_date,"m")
