Hello,
I am pulling 2 different dates via VLOOKUP into cells in a spread sheet and then wanting the difference by day returned. The problem in the dates being pulled have time in the also so when I want the different to be zero it returns .29 or something like that.

Code:=IF(AJ28="",AI28-AK28,AJ28-AK28)
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Excel stores dates as numbers, specifically the number of days since 1/0/1900, and time is just the fractional component of one day. So to ignore the time portion, just take the integer value of each date, i.e.
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]=IF(AJ28="",INT(AI28)-INT(AK28),INT(AJ28)-INT(AK28))[/COLOR]
