Date value

Hi there

I have a spreadsheet which logs the date a document was submitted to someone in one cell, and the date it was received back from them in another.

I would like to create another cell with a formula that would calculate the number of days between these two dates. Please could you advise me on how to do this?

Thanks

RE: date value

Hi Amy. This is more complicated than you'd think, mainly because of the different number of days in each month. However, here's a link to a good primer in how to achieve this:

Hope this helps,

Excel tip:

Trace Dependents / Precedents without the blue arrows

Rather than using the toolbar you can press CTRL+] which is the equivelent of trace dependants and CTRL+[ for precendants. Both of these ways though will not show the blue arrows but jump to the cell containing the formula.
