  13. Hi,

    I'm trying to do something similar to Danielle, but would like to calculate the number of days something is open, so I would need to use 3 dates to calculate this, date open, date closed and today.

  14. Hi

    I am trying to total the number of days a certain job takes to do. However if the task is done in the same day how do I get excel to count this as 1 day?

    Any feedback would be super - thank you
    Danielle

    1. Hi Danielle,

      Assuming that your dates and in A and B columns, the formula below should work for you:
      =IF(B1 = A1, 1, B1-A1)

      Just enter this formula in C1 and then copy it along the column.

      1. What if I wanted to use this formula with "B1" being "Today"? I can't seem to make that work.

  15. I need to know the day of the date in one coloumn

    1. Hello, Prema.
      Thank you for contacting us and for your question.

      If you need to replace 23/10/2018 with the corresponding day of the week, you just need to select your cells, then press Ctrl+1 to open the Format Cells dialog. On the Number tab, select Custom from the Category list and type the following date format: dddd

      1. Thank you Mam..

      2. Excellent, thank you; just what I needed - the date difference and a zeroed-out field while only the start date is currently known.

  19. Hi my question is i want value against date 20/09/2018 Subtract 18/09/2018 in excel

  20. In testing, it appears the DATEDIF does not compute date values prior to Jan 1, 1900. What's the solution for computing date different (age, for example), if the birth date is in the late 1800s?

  21. Very informative and useful for me.

    Thank you.

  22. Nitesh:
    The formula is ((End Date + End Time)-(Start Date + Start Time))*24
    Format each cell the way you usually do for each variable.
    Format the result cell as General or Number.

  23. how to calculate times difference.
    if start date and start time in different column and end date and end time are in different column than how to calculate.
