Hi Rashmi, As the process you are trying to formate the date, it is converting the date into string formate. I think the bellow example will do your requirments. var start = new Date( "2010-04-01" ), end = new Date(), diff = new Date(end - start), days = diff/1000/60/60/24; days; //=> 8.525845775462964 Hope it will help.

Hi Rasmi, I recommend to you to use Moment.Js file. It has more predefined function to compare and validate date.

Jquery is preety powerful to find date difference in Sharepoint. We can even exclude weekends by writing a small piece of code to find number of days with in two specified dates. Please share your jquery code so that we can debug.
