I want to subtract 2 dates and display the result as months

Dave · Jan 30, 2005

I am trying to subtract 2 dates and return the result as number of months.

I have seen post related to DateDif but whne I use this I get a Name error.

How do I subtract dates and get number of months?

Thanks

Dave

=DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m")

Works for me

Start date in A1,
End date in B1,
Try this:

=DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m")
