talking about dates, therz a formula that i use very frequently to calculate the difference between two dates.
its not documented in 2007 though

=DATEDIF(START_DATE,END_DATE,”Y”) – gives you the years
=DATEDIF(START_DATE,END_DATE,”YM”) – remaining months
=DATEDIF(START_DATE,END_DATE,”MD”) – remaining days

im sure you’ll know this. wonder why it isnt documented. works fine with 2003 and 2007

@Glenn: you can try a user defined function if the information you want to gather can be derived only from the 2 dates entered. You can write a macro, if you need to refer to other ranges in the workbook to gather the info based on the dates entered. I am not sure what you meant by “go find the info for that range”. May be if you tell what you are trying to find, I can suggest the approach for writing a macro…

I know how to write macro’s for excel, but I have 1 issue that I cant figure out and would appreciate some help.
I want to key a range of dates, (7/1/09-7/12/09) then write a macro to go find the info for that range and bring it back to my spread sheet.

Thanks for any help….

Hi Chandoo,

Since this article was for Dates, below are 2 easy ones to calculate the Start and End of Month. (without using the EOMONTH formula as available in Analysis Toolpak).

In Cell A1, put any date
then in the cell where you would want the Start of Month put the below formula
1. Start of the Month
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1)

2. End of Month
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0)

Hope this would help a lot who were dependant of EOMONTH..

cheers
~Vijay
