A reducing number by given dates
Hi all, basically what im trying to create is a spreadsheet showing how many payments i have left on an item i purchased. Now i pay $100 on this item on every 2nd friday. So my question is, what is a formula that will look at todays date and reconise that it is the second friday when payment is due and reduce a given figure in a cell by $100. For example, Total cost is $1000, payments = $100, payments are due on 07/10/05, 21/10/05, 04/11/05 etc So when the 07/10/05 arrives total cost will = $900, when 21/10/05 arrives total cost will = 800 etc. Obviously when the date is other than specified the total cost dosnt change. Hopefully i have made my self clear and somebody can help out with ths dilema Many thanks James -- jdmagoo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdmagoo's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27814 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=473240 |
Hi
One way, with your purchase price in A1, enter in A2 =A1-INT((TODAY()-"23/09/2005")/14)*100 or if you just want to use a single cell, then =1000-INT((TODAY()-"23/09/2005")/14)*100 Regards Roger Govier jdmagoo wrote: Hi all, basically what im trying to create is a spreadsheet showing how many payments i have left on an item i purchased.
