Just a quick one,

I want to be able to work out quickly the number of days between 2 dates but struggling to get my head round a formula due to the different months having different lengths,

e.g “how many days between 16th Jan and 5th November,”

I haven’t posted a patch beacuase the rest of it if just simple maths.

Any ideas/input always appreciated.

Regards,

Oli

known and one should be able to easily fit that all into one expr or if.
