    Excel (2010) Function Issue

    I have a FUNCTION issue with Excel 2010. The attached screenshot is what I am experiencing. I’m trying to get the difference (quantity) between a date range. As you can see in this screenshot, the amount of days between Sept. 12 and Sept. 19 is 7 days, not 6, as it’s showing (?). Has anyone ever seen anything like there (when an Excel function is inaccurate)????

    Because just subtracting the days doesn't resolve my function issue; I want to know WHY Excel is doing this (miscounting). Besides, this is just an example of the function problem; my actual date ranges that I'm doing for a project are far more complex than this simple (head-counting) sample.

    Well, doesn't that mean that you have Wed 12th Sept, Thursday, Friday plus Monday, Tuesday and Wed 19th Sept ? NETWORKDAYS gives you the number of WORKING days, excluding weekends and holidays (if specified).

    Hope this helps.

    Use function Date Difference - DATEDIF(cell1,cell2,"D") Cells 1 & 2 have your dates in then. The "D" is for days but you can use M or months etc.

    Pete is correct and seeing that you wanted it to say 7 days, i figured you were looking for just a simple subtraction.
