Generation

# Calculating Elapsed Days Between Dates To calculate elapsed days between two dates, subtract the earlier date from the later date. The key formula is: **Elapsed Days = End Date - Start Date** Most spreadsheet programs (Excel, Google Sheets) handle this automatically when you subtract one date cell from another, as dates are stored as sequential numbers. For example, if Date1 is in cell A1 and Date2 is in cell B1, the formula `=B1-A1` will return the number of days between them.
