Hi Augustine, You can use "=DAYS360(Start_date,End_date)/360"
Good Luck, ASD 2008/10/6 Augustine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi everybody, I tried using the DateDif function in Ms-Office 2007 but its not working. Is there any other way to activate the function since i heard that the function is hidden in Excel by Microsoft co.

I have to calculate the depreciation based on the no. of years an asset has been used. I have to calculate depreication upto 31/03/2004 and then for the f.y. 2004-05. Now I have to calculate the no. of years the asset has been used from the date of its acquisition to 31-03-2004. I have used the following formulae for this:- Say A1 is date of Acquisition (01/04/2000) In B1 I have applied the following formulae B1=2004-year(a1). But the problem in this formula is that if an asset has been acquired on 01/01/2004 it will show zero result whereas I want 1. Again if the asset has been acquired on 01/01/2005 it will show "-1" whereas I want it to be zero. Is there any other formula I can use. Thanks & regards...
