Hi,

The formula in the subject line is giving the wrong number of days when the span of time is over a month.

My attached picture contains two snapshots.
  • The first snapshot shows my highlighting the formula in the subject line so you can see it in the formula bar. Here the days is the extra days across a month (4 days rather than the number of actual days).
  • The second snapshot shows where I copied the set of cells down and I changed the formula to include the month. This is the revised formula
    VBA Code:
    =TEXT(D6-D7,"m+d+h+m") & " Months + Days + Hours + Minutes since extraction."
    . Again I highlighted it so you can see it in the formula bar. Here the months is incorrect. It should be 1 month.
How might I get the actual total days? Once I have that I can figure out the weeks. Actually "W+D+H+M" would be best if that is possible. I tried "w+d+h+m" and that just showed "w+4+7+3".

Thanks,
John
