help is require with this

how do we get the date count? I'm aware that this you could use this 05/05/05 - 01/05/05= 4days

BUT i need to work out the date to count on day one e.g 01/05/05 including weekend so i tried this 05/05/05 -01/05/05+1=5, works well but im hoping +1 can be avoid. I have tried WEEKDAY function but only count in the week apart from weekend.

Secondly, the information I required to work but i can't seem to get it to work (sorry can't seem to get the attachment) :-

(In column A1) 01/04/2005 (date start from)
(In column A2) 31/03/2006 (date end)


(In column E1) 04/07/2005
(In column F1) 00/01/1900
(In column G1) 04/07/2005

(In column G1 =E1+F1)
(In column H1 =IF(OR(G1<A1,G1<A2),"X","Y")

If no date has been input or 00/01/1900, it will come up an "X", how do we stop this, only for when a date is input?


Lastly, i have been given by another register user, DAV, this is to enable me that if a date is input then it will show date and if a letter or word is typed then it will leave a blank
=if(isnumber(a1),a1,"")format as a date),

And yes this does work, , i have changed at the last part to 0 and this is what i wanted.


=if(isnumber(a1),a1,0)

So want to say THANKS to DAV

=EndDate - StartDate + 1

You will need the +1.

That's good. Better to not post attachments. Many will not download them.
