So I am using python in order to automate some repetitive tasks I must do in excel. One of the calculations I need to do requires the use of yearfrac(). Has this been replicated in python?
I found this but it is incorrect for the value I tried.
(From 12/19/2011 to 3/31/17, yearfrac() gives 5.2833333333333300000, but the python function in the link gives 5.2807978099335156.)
I found an e-mail thread from actual Office developers providing a VBA implementation of the YEARFRAC algorithm.
