I have a homework assignment that is to calculate the number of days between dates. It is a simple problem; however the format of the dates in column D are causing issue because of the date function. I am using DATEDIF but I am getting a name error. D is formatted as such =DATE(16,1,6), the E is =TODAY() and the datedif is =DATEDIF(D8,E3,D). Please help. =E3-D8 returns the serial 36548.
You're getting the correct value. The number of days between January 6, 1916 ( =DATE(16, 1, 6)
) and January 29, 2016 ( =TODAY()
) is 36,548 days.Your subtraction using =E3-D8
is returning the correct value.
You can do a rough approximation yourself:
365.25 days per year
x 100 years
=======
36,525 days
