mm/dd/yyyy is the format. I need to subtract two dates to find the difference
 
With dates in A1 & A2, in A3:
=A1-A2
This will give you the number of days difference. Format A3 as general

you can just subtract the dates and format the result as a number. Thi
will show the number of days between the 2. From there you can figur
out months, weeks, years... etc..
