In Calc, help files, the function YEARFRAC (Start date;End date;Basis) requires the Analysis AddIn. Where do I get this Analysis AddIn? How do I install it once I download it?

My experience - and a bit of searching at the web site - suggest that the help text is being less than helpful here. It seems that the analysis functions are actually installed by default - but that this can be deselected in the custom installation route. Certainly my default installation of 2.4.1 on Windows XP includes the analysis functions. Copying the help text's example for YEARFRAC() produces the expected result (give or take that my locale requires a different date format).

What happens if you attempt to user YEARFRAC() ?  Do you get an error?

I trust this helps.

Thanks.  That helped.

I had left out the quotation marks around the dates. Too bad you cannot enter the dates in the formula the same way as when you enter a date in a cell. It is goofy to change the formatting because the function interpreter is not smart enough to recognize a date format.
