Countdown from Entered Date
I need to write a formula that will countdown from 60 from a date that is
entered by the user. How do I do that? -- Thanks As Always Rip |

Rip,
Countdown from 60, or countdown to 60 days from a date, or 60 days to a date, or.... Perhaps, =ABS(TODAY()-A1) with the date in A1 - the formula will return the number of days until or after the date in A1.... HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Ripper" wrote in message ...

Thanks for responding..
Once we create a record by entering a date, we have 60 days to complete the next task. What I need is a cell that will tell us how many of the origional 60 days we have left to complete step 2. -- Thanks As Always Rip "Bernie Deitrick" wrote: Rip, Countdown from 60, or countdown to 60 days from a date, or 60 days to a date, or....

Ripper,
Try =A1 - TODAY() + 60 though you should check to see if that suits exactly what you want - perhaps 60 or 61 or 59, depending on your counting conventions.

Enter date in A1..............October 31, 2009
In A2 enter =A1-TODAY() & " Days to go" Each day you open the workbook, the number in A2 will be one less. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 1 Sep 2009 08:24:01 -0700, Ripper wrote: I need to write a formula that will countdown from 60 from a date that is entered by the user. How do I do that? |
