    Calculating Calendar dates from a paritcular date

    I have a spreadsheet and want to calculate calendar days from a particular date. I thought the EDATE function would do this but it only calculates months. Can someone help me? I would have thought that would be really easy to do. Thanks.

    Basically I would like to use the workday function for calendar days.

    Re: Calculating Calendar dates from a paritcular date

    You can use simple subtraction to find the calendar days.

    A1: 1/10/2013
    B1: 1/19/2013
    C1: =B1-A1 which comes out to 9

    A simple subtraction should do the trick.

    End date - start date = calendar days.

    Cheers

    I do not have an end date. Only a start date. I want to calculate the end date by using the start date and a list which indicated the number of calendar days i want to calculate an end date.

    kgfklee,

    your message isn't very clear. This is what I understand:

    - you have a start date. Assume it is 1Nov13.

    - you have a X number of calendar days. Assume X = 10.

    You want the end date.

    If I have understood the problem correctly, the answer is:

    A1: 1 Nov 2013

    A2: 10

    A3: =A1 + A2

    End date in cell A3: 11 Nov 13

    Does that work?

    Cheers
