I am using this formula to show the amout of days between two dates.
=datedif(today(),a2,"d") this works well as long as the date in cell
A2 is in the future. If todays date is after the the date in cell A2
It wont show the days as a negative number as I want it to. insted the
cell shows this. #NUM! can anyone help with this. Thanks

Try this

=A5-TODAY()

The formulas that you can insert with this Add-in are working also this way
