Hello my friends. I been trying to make a calendar countdown on excel but im block! I have to do a countdown for a Summer Club Savings account. Also it has to run offline. For example the savings account closes on December 21. So excel everytime I open it has to show me the reminder time. Please help! Im really frustrated. Thanks in advance!:eek:
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Try this:
in cell A1 put the formula
Code:
=now()

in cell A2 put your closing date of 21/12/2014

in cell A3 put
Code:
=DATEDIF(A1,A2,"y")&" years "&DATEDIF(A1,A2,"ym")&" months "&DATEDIF(A1,A2,"md")&" days"

source of data
DATEDIF Worksheet Function

if you just want months and days, in cell A3 put
Code:
=DATEDIF(A1,A2,"ym")&" months "&DATEDIF(A1,A2,"md")&" days"

or just days, in cell A3 put
Code:
=DATEDIF(A1,A2,"d")&" days"
