I have a spreadsheet where I would like to know how many days there are from the current date until specified dates. I am using the Today() function to obtain the current date and I have entered some dates that I would like to countdown to in column B. I know how to obtain the amount of time left in years, months, and days, but I would like to just have the amount of time in days. Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

Just subtract one from the other, and format the cell as a number.

Hope this helps,
