[RESOLVED] Compare Dates While Ignoring Year

This is going to sound wacky but I need to compare two dates while ignoring the year.

Dim n as Integer
n = DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, #7/1/2005#, #7/3/2006#)
n is “367” but what I really need to return is “2”

I’m trying to get the number of days before or the number of days after an anniversary date. If we were only talking about a single year it would be easy but sometimes these dates span over multiple years. Is there anyway to parse out the year and just compare the month and date? I could use a jumpstart on this one. Thanks!

VB Code:

Dim d1 As New Date(2005, 7, 1)
Dim d2 As New Date(2006, 7, 3)
Dim tempDate As New Date(d1.Year, d2.Month, d2.Day)
Dim dif As Integer = CInt(DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, d1, tempDate))

This should do what I think you want.

Works Perfectly!
Thank you!
