Date counting days

How can I easily count the days, if I have a start date mm/dd/yyyy and an end date mm/dd/yyyy. For example if I want to calculate the patient days on therapy of a medicine, to proof efficiency.

RE: date counting days

Hi Esther

Thanks for getting in touch. Counting with dates is quite straightforward; subtract one date from another. So if your end date is in cell A1 and start date is in cell B1, in C1 you can find out the difference with:

=A1-B1

If you need to find out only the week days, you can use:

=NETWORKDAYS(A1,B1)

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
