Re: [libreoffice-users] Compute difference
Thanks Tom Dear Dave It does work - you have to format the input cells as stated. b4 is formatted to Date, 31/Dec c4 is text to d4 is formatted to Date, 31/dec then in E4 =days360(b4,d4,3) then input your 2 dates into b4 and d4 as in just type:- 01/07/2011 and 22/07/2011 and the answer in E4 is 21 you might want to add +1 to the E4 formula depending on if you decide the answer in E4 should be 22 I note that 1/7/2011 is the same as 01/07/2011, as is just 1/7 (as it auto inputs this year) regards John B -- On 22/07/2011 20:41, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) I think John's answer was mostly so you could copypaste into the right places!

[libreoffice-users] Compute difference
Hi all, I need to do a difference in days between two dates, _without_ taking into account leap years (e.g. considering all years are 365 days long). The right way to do that would be to use function DAYS360(date1;date2;method) using method = 3 as in other financial functions, but it does seems to be implemented (only 0 non 0 are meaningful for this function currently). Does anybody know how to still do this without ressorting to a procedural language ? Regards, J.

Try this b4 is formatted to Date, 31/Dec c4 is text to d4 is formatted to Date, 31/dec E4 = ((-B4+D4)/7 +(1/7) f4= Trunc(e4) g4= (+e4-F4)*7 then type in your 2 dates into b4 and d4 as in 01/07/2011 and 22/07/2011 regards John B On 22/07/2011 15:15, Jérôme Fenal wrote: Hi all, I need to do a difference in days between two dates, _without_ taking into account leap years (e.g. considering all years are 365 days long).

Hi :) I think John's answer was mostly so you could copypaste into the right places! To do the formatting in the first part of his answer click on the cell and then look up at the menus at the top of the LibreOffice window. The menus should be something like File .. View ... Edit ... (err i can't remember) ... Format ... (more i can't remember) ... Window ... Help So, click on the Format menu, choose Cell and a pop-up box should appear with lots of tabs at the top. Choose the first one, General (or something). Somewhere on the left should be an option for Date which then gives you various sub-options.
