Count Down 48hrs
Hello All
I would like to count down 48hrs from a supplied date and time. What I mean is, when I start up my spreadsheet it will reference a cell in another spreadsheet which is supplying a date and time (yyyy,mm,dd hh,mm) that is not more than 48hrs old. I would like to display when 48hrs will expire from that given time in a counting down (hh,mm) format. Any assistance would be much appreciated, Paul |

Count Down 48hrs
If X is the supplied date and time, such that X < current time < (X + 2 days),
and you want to know the number of days, hours, and minutes between the current time and X + 2 days, =Sheet1!A1+2-NOW() and format as dd hh:mm BTW, does Excel recognize the time, X, as a time? If you've typed it in the format you show below, it may not. If I type this in a cell: 2004,10,20 22,03 it's text, not a date and time. If you need to convert from text, this formula should do it =DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,6,2),MID(A1,9,2))+TIME(MID (A1,12,2),RIGHT(A1,2),0) On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 22:47:55 -0400, "Paul" wrote: Hello All I would like to count down 48hrs from a supplied date and time.
