Re: Serial Date formula

That is correct according to what I just found in the excel help files.  
01/01/1900 = Day 1

Neil,

I suppose duration is like field positions, end - begin +1 = length

If I made an adjustment for 1 that would bring it to 12-31-1899 as the 0
base date and day 1 would be 01-01-1900, but that seems a little
convoluted.
