date format
Hi
I have a question and hope someone can help. I have 2 dates e.g. 11/1/2005 (mm/dd/yyyy) and 9/1/2005 (mm/dd/yyyy). If I substract them, I will get 61 days. However, i do not want to show 61 days, i want to show 2 months instead. e.g. 11/1/2005 - 9/25/2004 = ? months and ? days can anyone help. |

Something like =DATEDIF(A2,A1,"m")&" months "&DATEDIF(A2,A1,"md")&" Days" DATEDIF is not in help (Except 2000) it was put in for compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3, you can find help here http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datedif.htm -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk HIS "Tiffany" wrote in message ...
