The title really doesn't explain what is going on,
I am writing a story and I use Excel for keeping track of the timeline
What I am trying to do is show how much time has past between the dates in the same chapter, but I also want to see the dates in chronological order.
Some dates get repeated, that's fine, each chapter starts on the same date, but what I want to find is how many days have past between two dates in a chapter.
Example:
I need to know how many days have past from 6/5/2035 and 5/7/2035. Sure I could just point to the cell and be done with it, but, this spreadsheet will change as more chapters are written. Right now there are two lines between the dates I said in the example, but when all is said and done, there will be many more lines there.
I have seen many suggestions, but, I just cannot get them to work.
