How do I create a formula using the date item was put into inventory and the
date you open to spreadsheet (every time) and figure the number of days in
inventory?

If A1 contains the date that the item was put into inventory, the following
formula computes the number of days between then and the current date:

=TODAY() - A1

TODAY() is not exactly "the date you open the spreadsheet" -- imagine if you
open the workbook just before midnight, and you evaluate that formula just
after midnight.

But I suspect it will do what you want.

hi
assuming the date is in A2, in B2, enter.....
=Today()-A2
format to general
or if you want to decimalize it.....
=Now()-A2
format to general.
