    Produce a blank cell

    Hi All

    Could you help me resolve a issue I have. I have a start date in c2 and a expired date in e2. When I add =c2+21 is shows me the correct date in e2 but when I take the date out of c2 I get 21/01/1900 in e2. Is their anyway around this show it done show this or is their another way of doing the formula.

    Thanks
    Rick

    Re: Produce a blank cell

    What is the criteria of returning a blank cell?

    Date + 21 will add 21 days

    Date - Another Date will return the difference, in days

    So 29/9/2014 - 24/9/2014 = 5/1/1900, which is equivalent to 5
