                    I am not sure 
perhaps the mistakes comes in formatting as months and daysl
the dates in excel are actually number (days from 1 jan 1900 or something like that )
if you format it as days it will be 364 days.
if you convert this into months and days there will be problem.are you going to divide by 30 or 31 or 29 or 28.
try this formula
=datedif(c1,d1,"d")

                    Is this not semantic problem? 5 minus 1 is 4. the difference means incremental. sep 1 to sep 5 th is only 4 days. think about it closely.

Even though I need the result to show in months and days, I had tried =datedif(c1,d1,"d"), but that comes out as 364 days... However, it should show 365 days (and 366 days if February 2008 were included in the time frame).
Is there any way for Excel to accurately count the number of months and days between two dates? If so, how.
Thank you!
