    Calculating the Difference Between 2 Dates

    Hi There,

    I need your help.

    I can't seem to wrap my head around this:

    I have the following code:

    and it returns 31 when it should be returning a date difference of 1.

    I need the date in the following format dd/mm/yyy

    Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Jay

    Hello Jay,

    The problem is how VBA handles dates. The best thing to do is use unambiguous date formats. The date "04/02/2011" in UK date format is Feb. 04, 2011. In US date format it is April 02, 2011. The code below corrects the problem by converting the dates into numbers.
