Return Days since Date Entered in Column.
 

I have a worksheet with a column containing dates ('A').

I want to keep a running total of how many days (for example: '180'
from the date in column A.

I noticed if I simply subtract the date from todays date, the valu
returned is formated as a date. I want just the days rolling (180)
instead somethign like this '01/30/1900' which I tend to end up with.
Any suggestions?

Someone earlier suggested NETWORKDAYS(a1-b1). but it didnt seem t
work.

Hi Mcasteel

Select the formula cell and goto FormatCells and format
the cell as General

Here is a formula that I frequently use for date variances.

=DAYS360(H4,G4)
