    Looking for a formula to calculate number of days that elapsed for 2 events

    First of all I would like to thank you for reading my post.

    I will try to make this sound as easy as possible.

    Lets say that on the 01/01/2014 I had to make a payment. I also have to make that payment on the 01/01/2015 and 01/01/2016 and so on. However I cannot proceed with the payment of 01/01/2015 if I do not make the payment on the 01/01/2014.

    This means that for the first payment 2 years and 4 months have already passed, for the second payment 1 year and 4 months have passed and for the last payment 4 months have passed.

    I would like a formula that would calculate the number of total days that have passed. In the above case that means 4 years.

    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I don't understand the logic. Why are you adding the lapsed times together? Surely 01/01/2014 to 01/05/2016 is two years and four months???

    What I wantr to find in the end is the total days for each payment that should have been made added up together. I want this formula to do it for an indefinite period of time in case future payments are accrued.

    Since its still April I said 4 months I only used that for the sake of the example. If you require more details please tell me.

    Can you post a small sample workbook (using Go Advanced > Manage Attachments) so we can see how you have your data organized? Please alter or remove and private data.

    a1= 01-01-2014

    b1=EOMonth(A6,11)+1

    gives the result 01-01-2015
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.
