How to determine how many fiscal years are present from start date to end date.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the Exel Forum I am happy to be hear. My companies fiscal years starts in August

7/31/2011 - 8/1/2012
7/31/2010 - 8/1/2011...

I am trying to determine how many fiscal years are in a period of time I have very presice start date and end dates:

10/17/2007 1/4/2010
5/1/2007 12/1/2009
8/1/2008 11/20/2009
10/21/2007 10/31/2009
9/24/2007 10/2/2009
10/1/2008 9/30/2009
2/18/2008 9/4/2009

Any assistance would be much appreciated. Best,

Hello,

Thank you for responding to my message. I mean how many fiscal years does this range of dates touch, does not have to be the complete fiscal year. Does that make sense?

With start date in A2 and end date in B2

Would it be possible to take it one step further and have the result bring back the years instead of the instances?

Do you need years listed in a single cell, or each year in its own cell?

Good call Ace, I think I was trying to overcomplicate the solution with, for example, "2006,2007,2008,2009" rather than "2006-2009"

I would have made a slightly different tweak though,

Brillant! Is there are way to tweek this to have FY 2013 start 8/1/2012, FY 2013 start 8/1/2011 and so on?

Taking the simple solution provided by daddylonglegs in post #9,

=YEAR(A2+153)&"-"&YEAR(B2+153)
