Hi Sonia

If in a worksheet you have two dates eg the Start Date of a project in Cell "B5" and the End Date in Cell "C5" then the formula would be

=C5 - B5

This will give you the number of days between the two dates.

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

No Zeros

Want all the zeros in your worksheet to appear blank? Choose Tools/Options, Click on the View Tab, Deselect the Zero Values Option, Click OK.
Easy wasn't it? But be aware that these cells are not actually blank, they still contain the value zero. This is important because certain functions (ie AVERAGE) make a distinction between blank cells and those with a zero value.
