Learn how to find the number of weeks between two dates in Excel using the DATEDIF function for accurate calculations.

0 views

To get the number of weeks between two dates in Excel, you can use the DATEDIF function with the 'd' unit, then divide by 7. Type `=DATEDIF(start_date, end_date, "d")/7` in a cell, replacing `start_date` and `end_date` with your specific dates. This will calculate the total days between the two dates and divide that number by 7 to find the total weeks. For a more accurate calculation that considers partial weeks, use `=INT(DATEDIF(start_date, end_date, "d")/7)`.
