Hi :)
I think John's answer was mostly so you could copy&paste into the right places!
To do the formatting in the first part of his answer click on the cell and then
look up at the menus at the top of the LibreOffice window. The menus should be
something like
File .. View ... Edit ... (err i can't remember) ... Format ... (more i can't
remember) ... Window ... Help
So, click on the "Format" menu, choose "Cell" and a pop-up box should appear
with lots of "tabs" at the top. Choose the first one, "General" (or
something). Somewhere on the left should be an option for "Date" which then
gives you various sub-options.
Hope this helps but there is a guide with screen-shots somewhere that might help
so don't worry if it's not obvious. See Chapter 5

Thanks, but I am not a programmer. I have troubles being understood in
English. Is there a way of doing it through the menus?
Feeling unworthy,

Try this
b4 is formatted to Date, 31/Dec
c4 is text "to"
d4 is formatted to Date, 31/dec
E4 = ((-B4+D4)/7 +(1/7)
f4= Trunc(e4)
g4= (+e4-F4)*7
then type in your 2 dates into b4 and d4 as in 01/07/2011 and
22/07/2011

Hi all,
I need to do a difference in days between two dates, _without_ taking into
account leap years (e.g. considering all years are 365 days long).
The right way to do that would be to use function
DAYS360(date1;date2;method) using method = 3 as in other financial
functions, but it does seems to be implemented (only 0& non 0 are
meaningful for this function currently).
Does anybody know how to still do this without ressorting to a procedural
language ?
Regards,
J.
PS: I'll be digging into BZ to see if there is already a request for such an
enhancement to DAYS360().
