Counting Days
Hello -
Ah, yipes. I should better explain.
In Column A, I have my target date sometime in the future.
In Column B, I would like it to tell me how many days from today will be my
target date. (I want the output to look like a countdown, so the output
should be a negative number prior to my target date.)
If today is past my target date, I would like the output to be a positive
number counting how many days I am already past the target date.
Hope that helps to clarify the question.
Thanks for your help.

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.
