How do I compute the # of days from date to date.
I have sample data:
Obs. date1 date2 date3 date4
1 1/1/2010 2/10/2010 3/10/2010 4/5/2010
2 5/3/2011 5/5/2011 5/15/2010
I want output data:
Obs. date1 date2 date3 date4 daysdif1 daysdif2 daysdif3
1 1/1/2010 2/10/2010 3/10/2010 4/5/2010 40 28 26
2 5/3/2011 5/5/2011 5/15/2010 2 10
Any help using would be great.
thanks
