Calculate the number of days from a specific date

[Oceangate]

I would like a formula which would enable me to calculate the number of days
from a specific date. It's difficult to explain but hopefully the following
example illustrates what I need:
Example 1:
Column A: Start Date: 10/1/2005
Column B: End Date: 9/30/2006
Column C: Hire Date: 12/3/2006
Column D: Result: 63
Example 2:
Column A: Start Date: 10/1/2005
Column B: End Date: 9/30/2006
Column C: Hire Date: 9/18/04
Column D: Result: 352
The calculation is performed on the start date and the hire date giving the
result in Column D. I am not concerned with the year. Both dates can be
different years. I just need to know how many days there are from the start
date, in this case October 1, to the hire date. I hope I have explained this
clearly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Eugene

12/3/2006 - 10/1/2005 = 428 Not 63 but Put this into cell D1
=C1-A1

Mike,
Thanks for your reply. But as I said, I'm not concerned with the year, just
the months but I have to deal with them somehow in a formula. So, in the case
you noted, from 10/1 to 12/3 is 63 days disregarding the year. That's my
problem. I need a formula that will calculate the above regardless of the
years in both dates.
Thanks
Eugene

If your start dt is in A1 and hire dt in b1 then enter this in C1 and copy down

=IF(B2<A2,MOD(365+B2-A2,365),MOD(B2-A2,365))

The result may be off by the number of leap years in the date range...

=MOD(C1-A1,365)

That worked perfectly.
Thanks!!
