Is there any way to use the VBA function DATEDIFF similar to the worksheet function DATEDIF to only count the number of days between two dates excluding the months. In the DATEDIF formula I'd use =DATEDIF(start_date,end_date,"MD") so 1st Apr 2020 to 15 May 2020 would return a value of 14 days, but I can't see an option within DATEDIFF in VBA to count days excluding months. If I use
VBA Code:
my_days = DateDiff("D", original_start, original_end)
then it returns the total number of days, not just the days after months have been "ignored".
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Problem solved. Rather than using the original start date, I created an adjusted start date by adding the number of complete months calculated using "M" as the interval specifier, and then doing the days difference between that adjusted start date and the original end date.
