Hi

If I have two dates in text format (20180329and 20180424) how can I work out the number of days between them?

I need this to be in VBA as the two datesare coming from Access forms. Subtracting only works for dates in the samemonth. Can I convert them into dates in VBA and then use a DATEIFF?

 

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Code:
daysDiff = DateSerial(CLng(Left(date2, 4)), CLng(Mid(date2, 5, 2)), CLng(Right(date2, 2))) - DateSerial(CLng(Left(date1, 4)), CLng(Mid(date1, 5, 2)), CLng(Right(date1, 2)))
