I import some data that gives me a date field that looks like this
"8/3/2005" in column A. I need a formula that will calculate how many days
are left until this field is 30 days old based on the date. This is an
invoice date and I have thirty days to file a claim for any descrapancies. I
would like to know how many days I have left.

If the dates are true excel dates (numeric) then just add 30 days

=A1+30

Where A1 holds the date
