Question Total days outstanding formula

I did a fairly quick search and didn't see anything posted on this in the forum so please don't shoot me if this has already been asked.

I need a formula that shows the total days an activity has been outstanding.

i.e.

If a task was given on 11/05/07 and today is 11/07/07, the activity is 2 days outstanding.

It looks something like this, but obviously in excel format;

Today's date: 11/07/07

Location - Roof
Discipline - Roof Subcontractor
Description - Patch small hole
Assigned Date - 11/05/07
Days outstanding - 2

Hi ballard,

Maybe

Today's date - Assigned date

in formula assuming Assigned date in cell A7 and Today's date in cell A1

Days outstanding (A8) =A1-A7 'format cell to General

This may be pushing my luck, but how do I make it so the current date always updates when the spreadsheet is opened?
