Formula to count days between dates
Hello all. I am trying to figure out the correct formula that can bring back the amount of days between 2 dates.
Example:
I need to figure out the days between bid due to client and construction start date.
Column:
Bid due 3/01/24
Construction Start 5/20/24
There is a total of 81 days between these 2 dates. What formula would I use to bring back 81?
Best Answer
-
=[Construction Start]@row - [Bid Due]@row
This will give you 80 days. If you want to include the first day, you can just add one back.
=[Construction Start]@row - [Bid Due]@row + 1

You would use basic subtraction in this case.
=[Construction Start]@row - [Bid Due]@row
-
=[Construction Start]@row - [Bid Due]@row
This will give you 80 days. If you want to include the first day, you can just add one back.
=[Construction Start]@row - [Bid Due]@row + 1

That was easy enough! I think the issue I was having is that one of the columns was not set as a date column. Thanks for your help!
