Days between dates

An Excel formula exercise from Formuladrill. Solve it with a formula bar on a live sheet in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.

The task

Work out how many days each task took from start to end. Fill D2 and D3.

What this exercise teaches

Subtracting dates is the basis of ageing reports, delivery times and days overdue.

A hint if you get stuck

Dates are numbers underneath, so the later date minus the earlier date gives the days.
