count day timer
 
is there a way of adding a count day time to a cell which will take my
current time from my system clock to a date of my choice ie. time now 1.00pm
11/12/07 to 00:00:00 01/01/08

But as the OP asked for the calculation to use the current time, then
presumably =DATE(2008,1,1)-NOW()

In either case, format the answer as number or general, and the answer is
the number of days.
If you format the answer as [h]:mm:ss it would give the answer in hours,
minutes, and seconds, or as d h:mm:ss for days, hours, minutes, seconds.

But he also use a subject of Count Day Timer. If he wants a second/minute or
even hour countdown, that formula is not sufficient on its own.
