Try it with tomorrow at midday to see, Sloth's gives more than 1 day!

That is because Sloth's Rounds the subtracted dates, so if it is 24.6 say,
it rounds it up to 25, and then the .6 is used to calculate the hours. So,

I
think he is wrong

Hi Bob, I compared the result using your formula with the one provided

by
"Sloth" and it appears that I am off by a day using yours. 'Not sure

why.

Hello experts,
What formula should I use to show # days left, including time (in

hrs,
mins and sec's) from current date/time to a target end date/time?
For instance:

Start Date: Now()
End Date: December 31, 2005 5:00:00 PM

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Marie
