Daily dates. . di mdy(1,1,1900) -21914 . di mdy(1,1,1960) - mdy(1,1,1900) 21914 As said, you may need to adjust slightly depending on exactly what you want, e.g. in your other stuff is 1 January 1900 day 0 or day 1? Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Daniel Ciganda Thanks Nick, but what exactly should I substract mdy(1,1,1900) from? On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 3:45 PM, Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com> wrote: > Not as such.
