Can anyone tell me why these two formulas give two different results? Can you
fix the discrepancy of three days

=IF(Q2>=Q1,IF(AND(Q2>0,Q1>0),DAYS360(Q2,Q1),""),"")
Tuesday, 1 July 2008
Monday, 24 November 2008
(143)

=DATEDIF(L2,TODAY(),"d")
Tuesday, 1 July 2008
146

DAYS360 is based on a 360 day year, 12 months * 30 days per month.

DATEDIF is based on a 365/366 day year.

And of course =TODAY()-L2 (if formatted as General or Number) gives the same
result as =DATEDIF(L2,TODAY(),"d")

Thank you for that, as it was something I had overlooked.That means to have a
365/366 day formular I would need to do this?
=IF(G6>=C6,IF(AND(G6>0,C6>0),DAYS360(G6,C6)-6))

I obviously overlooked the 360day formular and I think I found how to turn
that formular into a 366days which would look like this I guess
=IF(G6>=C6,IF(AND(G6>0,C6>0),DAYS360(G6,C6)-6))

Throw away the DAYS360 function. You don't need it. Instead of
DAYS360(Q2,Q1) in your original formula, use Q2-Q1.
