Paulo,
You might try the undocumented DATEDIF function to return the number of months between two dates:
=DATEDIF(A1,A2,"m") A1 is the earlier date and A2 is the later one

If you want to read up on DATEDIF, see Chip Pearson's discussion at: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datedif.aspx

Hi,

Concerning the EDATE(), how can we do something the way around? I mean get the number of months between two dates?

Help would be appreciated.
BR,

A slight improvement on the NETWORKDAYS replacement. If you use WEEKDAY(date,2), you can remove one of the sumproduct terms:

SUMPRODUCT((WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(start_date&":"&end_date)),2)<6),(COUNTIF(holidays,ROW(INDIRECT(start_date&":"&end_date)))=0))*(1-2*(start_date>end_date))

Hi,

I'm trying to use your formula for workday (without the analysis pak) in VBA, how do i go about this. The formula i'm using is;

=start_date+IF(days=0,0,SIGN(days)*SMALL(IF((WEEKDAY(start_date+SIGN(days)*(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ABS(days)*10))),2)

I note that you have a replacement for ISO.WEEKNUM nut don't show WEEKNUM. Here's a replacement for =WEEKNUM(serial_num,return_type)

=INT((WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(serial_num),1,2-return_type))+serial_num-DATE(YEAR(serial_num),1,-5))/7)
