DAYS Formula Syntax

=DAYS("2023-12-31", "2023-01-01")

Example Use Case

Calculating the number of days between two dates

Understanding the DAYS Formula

The DAYS function in Excel calculates the number of days between two dates. It's a straightforward date difference tool for finding durations—like project lengths, age in days, or time elapsed between events.

DAYS("2023-12-31", "2023-01-01") returns 364, counting the days from January 1 to December 31. It takes end_date and start_date arguments, subtracting dates directly—simpler than the more versatile DATEDIF when you just need days.

Why Use DAYS?

DAYS finds simple intervals—think deadline tracking or day counting. Its straightforward calculation delivers an intuitive count of calendar days, making it perfect for basic duration measurements without the complexity of DATEDIF.

Example with Sample Data

Date Range	Formula	Result
12/31/2023 to 1/1/2023	=DAYS("12/31/2023", "1/1/2023")	364
TODAY() to project start	=DAYS(TODAY(), "6/1/2023")	[Days since project start]
Deadline to TODAY()	=DAYS("12/31/2023", TODAY())	[Days until deadline]

DAYS counts calendrical differences: 364 days from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2023. It's a simple day counter.
