How to calculate days in the month

[RJ Swain]

Good Afternoon,

I have a simple question, at least I hope it is. I am working on a
spreadsheet where I have 3 columns (C2,D2,E2) that represent the date for 3
months in a quarter. What I would like to be able to do is have cell F2 count
the days for the month(s).
Example: C2 D2 E2 F2

1-31-08 02-15-08 ---- 46

One twist is the dates will change from week to week as this is worksheet
has figures that are updated weekly and the days on the quarter are needed
for another calculation.

Thank you

in f2
=MAX(C2:E2)-DATEVALUE("12/31/2007")

AH HA! Thank you so much! i just had to change the cell to number and I got it!

You haven't stated what dates are in the cells. If they are the month end
date(s), or the current date, perhaps =DAY(C2)+DAY(D2)+DAY(E2) would work.
In your example, that formula would produce 46. Perhaps you could give more
details.

Well, the example is C2 is month end but the number will change through the
month as in example D2. So the following week, D2 will show 02-22-08 and so
on.

Both formulas test OK.
