The "minimum start date" was a business rule that Anna needed to follow. You can pick any date you like to pass in to the DateDif function. In Anna's case, the date for the first parameter could not be before a certain date. Likewise, the date for the second parameter could not be after a certain date. So, I used an If() expression to choose. Hope this helps. Vince Lauren,

What are these dates and how do they relate to the dates you want to pick as a start and end date for a datedif calculation? I would appreciate any insight you may offer. Thank you and have a nice day.
