You'll have to write your own code to work it out from the year and day and month. I'll try, just give me a bit of time.

I got there with my day calculator, I just got stuck at doing the extra days on leap years.

You can use this code to find out if it was a leap year.

If int(year/4) = (year/4) Then leapyear = 1

Each day of the week is moved over one each year. If it is a leap year, you move the day if after Feb 29 two intead of one.

for example

normal year:
year1 = monday
year2 = tuesday

leap year
year1 = monday
year2 = wednesday

Easier said than done though
