If I have an admission date and a discharge date, how can I write a formula
to calculate the number of days between the two dates?

weird, i should have just tried discharge - admission date. works fine.

With your two dates in cells A1 and B1 the following formula gives the
number of days:

=B1-A1

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

Not weird at all.

Serial number of Discharge date is greater than serial number of Admission
date.

March 4, 2009 serial is 39876

February 4, 2009 serial is 39848
