This guide provides a practical overview of Wings Calculates the Number of Days, the Difference Between Two Dates in, including its main features, benefits, limitations, and important considerations.

In Excel, to calculate any number of dates between two dates you should use the DATEDIF function.

Syntax: DATEDIF (start date, end date, optional)

Inside:

- Options include the following options:

+ Option = d => The function will return the number of days between the two time points.

+ Option = m => The function will return the number of months between the two time points.

+ Option = y => The function will return the number of years (only take the whole part) between 2 time points.

+ Option = yd => The function will return the odd number of days of the year (ie the number of days yet to round the year) between two time points.

+ Option = ym => The function will return the number of odd months of the year (the number of months yet to round the year) between two time points.

+ Option = md => The function will return the odd number of days of the month (number of days not yet full of the month) between two time points.

Meaning: The function performs the number of years, months, days, the odd number of months in the year, the odd number of days in a month.

Note: The DATEDIF function is not included in the Excel library of functions, so before using it, turn on the Analysis ToolPak feature.

For example, the data sheet calculates the number of days, months, years, and seniority of employees who have retired.

Copying the formula for the remaining values results in:

2. Calculate the number of months worked

You only need to replace the optional parameter as m:

Enter the formula: = DATEDIF (D8, E8, " m" ) -> copy the formula for other values to get results:

3. Calculate the number of days worked

Replace the optional parameter y:

Enter the formula: = DATEDIF (D8, E8, " y" ) -> copy the formula for other values to get results.

4. Calculating seniority based on Datedif function

- Calculating seniority is the number of days, months and years of work, here use more characters & to concatenate:

- Enter the formula: = DATEDIF (D8, E8, "y") & "year" & DATEDIF (D8, E8, "m") & "month" & DATEDIF (D8, E8, "d") & "date" .

Pressing Enter results:

The above article helps you calculate the number of days difference between 2 dates in Excel hoping to help you. Good luck!
