    • DateDiff Function

    Returns the number of intervals between two dates.

    DateDiff(interval, date1, date2 [,firstdayofweek[, firstweekofyear]])

    The DateDiff function syntax has these parts:

    Arguments

    interval

    Required. String expression that is the interval you want to use to calculate the differences between date1 and date2. See Settings section for values.

    date1, date2

    Required. Date expressions. Two dates you want to use in the calculation.

    firstdayofweek

    Optional. Constant that specifies the day of the week. If not specified, Sunday is assumed. See Settings section for values.

    firstweekofyear

    Optional. Constant that specifies the first week of the year. If not specified, the first week is assumed to be the week in which January 1 occurs. See Settings section for values.

    Settings

    The interval argument can have the following values:

    SettingDescription
    yyyyYear
    qQuarter
    mMonth
    yDay of year
    dDay
    wWeekday
    wwWeek of year
    hHour
    nMinute
    sSecond

    The firstdayofweek argument can have the following values:

    ConstantValueDescription
    vbUseSystem0Use National Language Support (NLS) API setting.
    vbSunday1Sunday (default)
    vbMonday2Monday
    vbTuesday3Tuesday
    vbWednesday4Wednesday
    vbThursday5Thursday
    vbFriday6Friday
    vbSaturday7Saturday

    The firstweekofyear argument can have the following values:

    ConstantValueDescription
    vbUseSystem0Use National Language Support (NLS) API setting.
    vbFirstJan11Start with the week in which January 1 occurs (default).
    vbFirstFourDays2Start with the week that has at least four days in the new year.
    vbFirstFullWeek3Start with the first full weekof the new year.

    Remarks

    You can use the DateDiff function to determine how many specified time intervals exist between two dates. For example, you might use DateDiff to calculate the number of days between two dates, or the number of weeks between today and the end of the year.

    To calculate the number of days between date1 and date2, you can use either Day of year ("y") or Day ("d"). When interval is Weekday ("w"), DateDiff returns the number of weeks between the two dates. If date1 falls on a Monday, DateDiff counts the number of Mondays until date2. It counts date2 but not date1. If interval is Week ("ww"), however, the DateDiff function returns the number of calendar weeks between the two dates. It counts the number of Sundays between date1 and date2. DateDiff counts date2 if it falls on a Sunday; but it doesn't count date1, even if it does fall on a Sunday.

    If date1 refers to a later point in time than date2, the DateDiff function returns a negative number.

    The firstdayofweek argument affects calculations that use the "w" and "ww" interval symbols.

    If date1 or date2 is a date literal, the specified year becomes a permanent part of that date. However, if date1 or date2 is enclosed in quotation marks (" ") and you omit the year, the current year is inserted in your code each time the date1 or date2 expression is evaluated. This makes it possible to write code that can be used in different years.

    When comparing December 31 to January 1 of the immediately succeeding year, DateDiff for Year ("yyyy") returns 1 even though only a day has elapsed.

    The following example uses the DateDiff function to display the number of days between a given date and today: 

    Function DiffADate(theDate)
   DiffADate = "Days from today: " & DateDiff("d", Now, theDate)
End Function
