How do I do a pro ration calculation in excel


How do I do a proration calculation in excel?
I'd like to take inputs from the user -
Amount to prorate
Starting date - date product purchased
end date - date of failure/warranty claim
base warranty period - period where coverage is 100%
prorated warranty period - Period where warranty is prorated.  starts at day one regardless of base period.

Example:
Product is $400
Purchased 12/1/07
Warranty claim 6/1/10
Base Warranty 24months
Prorated period 6 months

$400 is prorated for 30months

I get a number error when I try this. Prorated-Warranty-Calc.-.xls
The formula was using dates in A1 and A2. You put yours in A1 and B1. Try moving the date from B1 to A2.
