Excel date calculations

Hi, unfortunately i'm having a senior moment.
I have 2 cells (A1 & B1), both with dates following the mm/dd/yyyy convention. Now i need to know the number of days between the 2 dates given.
A simple calculation of =B1-A1 gives an answer of mm/dd/yyyy and not the number of days between those 2 dates.
Any ideas?
Thanks & Regards
Ish

Thanks anyway

Excel tip:

Adding a comment to a formula

1. At the end of the formula, add a + (plus) sign.
2. Type the letter N, and in parentheses, type your comment in quotation marks.

eg.

=CurrentAssets / CurrentLiabilities+ N("The formula returns Current Ratio")
