Is one of the years a leap year? Another reason why this is impossible.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

As others have said, it depends on the start date.
If the start date is in A5, the number of days is
=DATE(YEAR(A5)+A1,MONTH(A5)+A2,DAY(A5)+A3)-A5 and format as General or
Number.

Thank you Teethless Mama and David Biddulph! Either formula will work for me.
