Dates

How do you work with two separate dates? For example find number of days between two dates?

RE: Dates

Hi Owen,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Start the formula with equals, select the cell with the most recent date and then minus the cell with the second date in.

Then format the cell as a number to get the number of days.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Quickly create a list of numbers

The fill handle in Excel has many uses. If a number is typed into a cell and then the fill handle is used, the number will be copied from one cell to the next.

If you wish to create a list of numbers that increment by one at a time, hold down Ctrl in conjunction with using the fill handle - this should give you a series of numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3 etc) rather than copying a single number.
