Yes there is.
The last character missed from post above was the less than character.

Stander - think it's a security measure to stop people trying to hack the site - your formula, whilst harmless, would have looked suspiciously like HTML and the security would have supressed it

if(a1 [less than] 40179,0,40544-a1)

returns a value of 0 for all dates before 01/10/10 (value 40179).
For dates after 31/12/09 but before 01/10/11 it returns a value equal to the number of days within 2010

Is what I was trying to type.

insert appropriate number of columns (3 in this case) and have an end date of 31st december for the years 2010 - 2012. if it will always be a similar number of years that the grant covers. just call them year one, year 2 etc.

then you can do it as simple subtractions. if you want one you can update with any year i'd have to have a bit of a think. if i had excel in front of me i could probably mock it up that you would only have to put in a start and end date the others would come up automatically. but i don't. sorry.

and if you use the less than character on the forum here, just make sure you put a space after it and it should be fine and will stop all text after it disappearing.
