Hi, Bruce - Thanks for your time and response. I spent an inordinate amount of time and effort to create a working formula, and thought there must be an easier way. I had in mind a function similar to DATEDIF in Excel.
Glad to have the opinion of someone more versed in R:Base than I am. I will use it - as is - in all its ugliness, since it works.
