Ok i changed the decimal to 2 places over. so now my answer is 1.55.
I think my problem might be that i am subtracting one date from another and
getting a number value, and then trying to add that value together. So my Q
is should how do i change the value.
EX: B1=12/11/08
B2=12/10/08
B3=1.64

Why is that? how do i change the date to a whole value?
 
Hi,

If you'd stop jumping about creating new threads then we would get to the
bottom of your question and provide an answer. This again is a formatting
issue. What you really have in B1 & b2 are dates and times formatted to
display only the date part and when you do your subtraction and format as
number or general you are seeing the decimal part of the difference between
the 2 dates/times.

To ignore the time or decimal part use

=int(B2-b1)

Sorry about the jumping, not sure how the reply worked, did not know if you
got it directly...So in B3 i put the formula=int(b1-b2)?-because in the cell
B3 i have this formula =if(B2="","",b2-b2) So how would i continue, with the
formula you suggested?
 
Maybe this

=IF(B2="","",INT(B2-B1))
