DyingIsis,

You can substract dates from each other. Each day = 1. So if you have a
date in A1 and a date in A2 you can subtract the two.

Just format the cell as a number (instead of a date).

Hope that helps. If it has, please rate it as helpful at the bottom of the
post.

Hello -

I'm trying to figure out a formula that tells me the number of days until a
date or tells me how many days have passed since the date.

Meaning, if today is 01/01/10 and my target date is 01/05/10, I would like
the formula to return "-5".

If today is 01/10/10 and my target date was 01/05/10, I would like the
formula to return "5".

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
