Default Todays date

Hi All

I have a spreadsheet with a date field. I want to calculate how many days
have passed since that date. So I need to minus todays date from the original
date.

Does anyone know how I get Excel to display todays date and update for each
new day.

Any help greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Rexmann
