Default Day Calculation Error

Will not work since it will return the day of the month 63 days after Jan 00
1900
use something like this instead

=INT(NOW()-A1)&" Days "&TEXT(MOD(NOW()-A1,1),"hh")&" Hours"

Sorry for not providing all the info, the result of the calcualtion I have
as
custom, (dd "Days," hh" Hours"), so it shows how many days and hours have
passed since the fixed date and time.

1. If you are comparing days and not hours etc don't use NOW(), use
TODAY()

2 format the result as general

If I do that I get 63

=TODAY()-A2

where A2 holds 04/16/07

formatted as general

I have a status spreadsheet that counts how many days from a fixed date
to
Now(), in one field the date is 16 April 2007, to Now() it is saying it
is
3
days, when I move it to a different fixed date of 19 april it tells me
23
days, it should read 60 on 16 april and 57 on the 19 april. I have
checked
the formating, and on some it counts properly.

Has anyone encountered this before if so please tell me how to fix
it...
Thank you Steve...
