I thank you both for your answers. You got me on the right direction in 
spite of my typing errors.
In my SS C is the date Sold, D is the amount rcvd, E is the date Bought, 
F is the amount Paid, G is short and H is long term. Even the IRS will 
not argue with 365 days as a year. Exactly 365 is a condition so 
improbable that I can live with it. When I finally put Shumakers formula 
in correctly it worked just as I wanted. What I ended with is:
=IF(Cn-En<365,Dn-Fn,) for Gn and
=IF(Cn-En>365,Dn-Fn,) for Hn 
Thanks again. Maybe some day I can help someone else.
