xdate in Windows 7
I finally entered the world of Windows 7, albeit only because my laptop died.
I am a historan who needs to calculate dates into the 18th century. Xdate always worked just fine in Excel 2003, but when I load it into the new computer, Windows 7 sees it as an old process and refuses to recognize it. I need those date calculations, and I'm not thrilled with buying a later version of Office - if it even is in the newer versions - because A) I don't otherwise need it, and B) I've seen the recent version of Office and want no part of it. |

Remember also the 400 year trick. 400 gregorian years is a whole number of weeks, so everything except easter repeats every 400 years. To get the weekday for 1/1/1800 look at 1/1/2200 for example.
