You will have a lot more success if you use valid Mathematica syntax and spend some time reading the documentation. All built-in Mathematica functions start with an upper case letter and function arguments should be surrounded by square brackets, "[" and "]" not "(" and ")". That is In[34]:= 367*y + Floor[7*(y + Floor [(m + 9)/12])/4] + IntegerPart [275*m/9] + da + 1721013.5 /. {y -> 2010, m -> 4, da -> 15} Out[34]= 2.46234*10^6
