Automatically calculate days between dates
This may be simple but I can't figure it out. I want to see a number each
time I open a particular spreadsheet that is calculated based on the number of days that have passed from the first day of the month. I don't want to have to enter todays date, that should be automatic. Since today is the 9th, I want a value of 9 calculated so I can use it in other formulas. In addition, once the number of days has reached 30, I want the calculation for that month to stop. An ideas? Thanks -- JerryS |

If you want to specify a particular month something like this might work:
=Min(30,Today()-A1) Where A1 holds the date of the first day of a month. -- Charles Chickering "A good example is twice the value of good advice."
