do this simple experiment
in A1 type
1/1/09
highlight A1 to A12
click edit(menut)-fill-series
in the series window
"series in" click "columns" if not elaeady done
click "date" under "type"
click "month" under "date unit"
step is 1

click ok

your will get A1 to A12 like this


in B1 copy paste this formula
=(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1)
copy B1 down
format this column B as date
in C1 copy paste ths formula

=(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1)
copy C1 down
format column c as number with no decimal places.

you will get

1/1/2009 31-Jan-09 31
2/1/2009 28-Feb-09 28
3/1/2009 31-Mar-09 31

Hi danny,

I'm not as good as Venkat but this is what you could do.

Make an extra sheet with the month under each other and the number of days next to them (you could hide this sheet).

In the cell you want the number of days use a V.LookUp function. The search value will be the cell you enter the name of the month in. The matrix to search in will be on the hidden sheet and the columnindexnumber will be 2.

Hope this is useful.

Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Danny,

Happy to see you are happy with my solution.

On sheet1 you put the name of the month in cell A1 then you the number of days in B1.
On sheet2 (the sheet you can hide) you input the names of each month in A1:A12.
Put the days of each month in B1:B12.

Now input the following formula in cell B1 from sheet1:
=v.lookup(A1;sheet2!A1:B12;2)

If you don't get the right result you might want to sort the data on sheet2:
select all month and days. Data>Sort>Sort column A>OK.

If you get an error you might want to change the ";" into a "," in the formula depending on your excel version.

Hope this info is sufficient for you.

Best regards,
Trowa

lea: if you are asking about number of days then do a simple difference between the two dates
