Hi all

Been awhile since I've used Excel a lot so please bear with me..

I need to create a formula that will calculate the number of days passed
that fall between two dates, subtracted from a delivery date. For
example, we have a product that if it is harvested between 15-may and
15-nov in any given year, any days the product sits between those dates
are counted as "drying" days. The delivery date will then be used to
calculate if the product is "dry" or "green" when delivered, based on a
set number of days.

So, if a product was harvested on 15-oct-05, and delievered on 15-feb-06
, I need the formula to count the days passed from 15-oct-05 and
15-nov-05, if this same product was delivered on 15-jun-06 then I'd need
the number of days passed between 15-oct-05 to 15-nov-05 amd 15-may-06
to the actual delivery date, in this case 15-jun-06. It is possible as
well for the time the product sat to span several years, but in this
case I am dealing with 2003 to present.

I am thinking a long(and ugly) formula with many nested IF,AND,OR
functions in it may work, but like I said, it has been years since I've
worked extensively with Excel so perhaps someone here could show me a
better way and/or there are new worksheet functions I dont know about
that could simplfy this.


Any help greatly appreciated!!


TIA
