Date & Time Formula Wizard

Date & Time Formula Wizard is a formula builder for Microsoft Excel. It creates formulas to calculate the difference between two dates, add or subtract years, months, weeks, days or even hours, minutes and seconds.

Sure, you can write all the formulas yourself using Excel alone. The formula builder uses only Excel math and no custom worksheet functions. It just simplifies and accelerates this process,dramatically saving your time.

To add or subtract, first you should select the cell where you want to put the result. Then you run the add-in, enter the date or select a date cell and enter the quantity or select cells with years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. You will see the result of the calculation under Formula result. Click the Insert formula button. The formula will be inserted in the selected cell.

If you need to calculate the difference between two dates, go to the Difference tab. There you will see three boxes to fill in: Date 1, Date 2 and Difference in. Unlike the Excel DATEDIFF function, our Date & Time Formula Wizard does not care about the order of the dates (start date and end date), it can output the result as a positive or negative number. After entering the dates, you select a format.

For instance, you can calculate the number of days between two dates; or show the difference in years, weeks and months; or weeks and days; etc. Once you click the Insert Formula button, the formula displayed in the Formula result section is inserted in the selected cell.
