Generation

To calculate elapsed days between two dates, subtract the earlier date from the later date. For example, if you want to find the days between January 15 and January 28, you'd calculate 28 - 15 = 13 days. When dates span different months, you'll need to account for the varying number of days in each month (like 31 in January, 28/29 in February, etc.). Most spreadsheet programs and programming languages have built-in functions that handle all these details automatically, so you can simply input both dates and get the difference.
