Hello, I am trying to use Sumproduct to calculate the difference between two dates per row, using the following:


Column A = From Date
Column B = To Date


I have tried both of the following which do not work:



Sumproduct(B:B-A:A)
Sumproduct((--B:B)-(--(A:A)))



Any help would be appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Actually i've checked this line by line and it works to an extent, where i now see it falls over is that where you subtract the same date it returns 0 whereas i need the formula to count this as a day.


So if in column A and b is the same date e.g. 01/01/2018 the current formula sumproduct(B:B-A:A) returns 0 but I need this to count as one day, any ideas?


Hi

What does the first formula give you? I think it should work.

Try:

=SUMPRODUCT(B:B-A:A)+SUMPRODUCT(--(A:A=B:B),--(A:A&B:B<>""))

Although you can simplify if you use avoid using whole column and if your data is in a contiguous range.

=SUMPRODUCT(B1:B100-A1:A100)+SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100=B1:B100))

The whole column approach will be quite slow to calculate.

Hi, that is 99% there. It now gives 1 where the dates match which is good but where the dates don't match i also need it to add 1:

E.g. column a = 01/01/2018
column B = 08/01/2018


The current formula returns 7 but in reality the formula needs to count the start day as well to return 8


Thanks
