  1. Hi guys,

    I am in deep trouble. I'll spare you the details for now.. but basically I mess up my excel spreadsheet, and is now going back with all my statements (I have a couple of brokerage accounts)...to reconstruct it for client presentation

    Anyway.. I having a hard time with the date function.. basically I am trying to figure out the number of days between two dates.. I forgot the parameters.. can some one help..

    For example, I want to know the number of days between 11/2/2005 and 2/5/2005 using an excel function.

    Thanks.

    try workdays function to get workdays

    otherwise just subtract one date from another to get absolute # of days between the two dates

    simply count the number of weeks and multiply by 5....tedious, but maybe faster than trying to figure out how to do it automatically.

  6. Try the following and see what you get

    @DATEVALUE("11/02/2005")-@DATEVALUE("02/05/2005")
