    Calculate how many days remaining between two Dates

    Hi there,

    I'm looking for some help in solving the following:

    I have an item that has an shelve life of 6 months, I want a formula that will calculate how many days it has remaining before it expires.

    E.g.

    Bottle of juice - Created 06-06-06, expires 06-12-06.

    I'd like the formula to determine how many days it has remaining when given todays date.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Presuming the expiry date is in cell B2...

    =B2-TODAY()

    with expiration date in A1, try:
    =A1-today()
    Or with creation date in A1:
    =today()-A1

    I've attempted that already, however a #Value! is returned - I want the amount of days remaining to be shown in days

    That should work just fine. Are your dates formatted as dates?

    Perhaps you could attach a sample worksheet?
