Explaining formula in cell D3
This formula works fine if the start is later than the end date, however, you get a minus sign before the number.
If you want to remove the minus sign simply use the ABS function to remove it, the formula then becomes:
=ABS(ROUNDDOWN((C3-B3)/7))
Step 1 - Subtract dates
C3-B3
becomes
35067 - 35685 equals 618 days.
Step 2 - Divide with 7
There are seven days in a week so we need to divide the result with 7.
(C3-B3)/7
becomes
618/7 equals 88.28571429.
Step 3 - Round the number down
The ROUNDDOWN function rounds the number down.
ROUNDDOWN((C3-B3)/7)
becomes
ROUNDDOWN(88.28571429) and returns 88.
