adding days correctly
Hi there, help please?? I am making a spreadsheet to show how many days a truck was used. If I subtract say B1 from A1 I get a number of days, but if its is actually a day off. If we use something from 4/10/2006 to 4/10/2006 I want to get an answer of 1 day, not 0. I have tried the basic subtraction & the DAYS360, but am not finding what to you all must be an oh-so-simple solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe just subtract the dates and add one?

Wist--
I see the problem -- you're thinking of 4/10 as both the beginning and ending, but Excel isn't smart enough to see that. If you're consistently off by one day, why can't you just do the subtraction and then add 1? HTH "wistfulee" wrote: Hi there, help please??

I guess I was overthinking the issue. Thank you from a very tired lady. -- wistfulee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wistfulee's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33626 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=533985 |
