Excel Formula for counting days (cell contains text as well which will need to be excluded

[Carlos_Sydney]

Is it possible to create a formula which will count the number of days in a cell which also contains text? For example the cell contains the following information

Interest Accrual 07/07/2009 to 05/08/2009

The formula would return 30 (there are 30 days from 07/07/2009 to 05/08/2009).

Thanking you in advance

The formula will work if your data structure is in the same format as below

In A1 cell
Interest Accrual 07/07/2009 to 05/08/2009

In B1 cell
