    # days in a certain month between any two dates

    Hi there,

    If I have the start date of 29/7/2013 and end date of 3/8/2013 and need the output to be July = 2 and August = 3, is there a formula that will achieve this?

    Sheet attached. Output cells are in orange under the month number

    Kind regards,

    MQ

    Re: # days in a certain month between any two dates

    for the first part (july) Eomonth(startdate)-startdate gives days left in the month of july,(2) and day(enddate) will give your 3, although day(enddate)-1 is really the actual days between,then we have the issue of if the months are not consecutive...is there a limit on the size of the spread between the 2 dates?

    hi MQ. why is C2 2? 29 Jul, 30 Jul, 31 Jul. 3 days? if you want to exclude the start date, then C3 should be 12? to get 3 days, you can try in C2:
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(ROW(INDIRECT($A2&":"&$B2)))=C$1))

    don't understand how you got 12 for C6, 5 for N4, 4 for L7. maybe you can explain those. to hide the zeroes, you can format the cells as:
    General;;

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    No limit between the dates, could span over many months as they are employee leave start and end dates. Not likely an employee would be be away for an entire year unless its a special circumstance.
