    Hi, user this:

    =1+TODAY()-A1

    where the start date is in A1.

    Re: automatic number count from date

    Hi ! Thx for reply. I dont know if im doing it wrong...
    But i would like to get a number so that if it starts counting from 23.09.15 the number today would be 5 and tomorrow 6 and so on...
    So it would just count days automaticly.

    Thanks !

    That is what that formula does... Did you notice the amendment 1+ to count the start day as well. i think that you should post a sample excel sheet, explaining more clearly what you want.

    Make sure there is enough data to demonstrate your need. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Re: automatic number count from date

    My formula is NOT giving you a date. It gives you a NUMBER. Did you actually try it? If you are counting days, you HAVE to know where to start from. Do you want it to start from yesterday or 24th June 1947? An alternative (which gives the exact same result, but hard-coding the start date) is:

    =1+TODAY()-"23/9/2015"

    formatted as general.

    Re: automatic number count from date

    The blue cell (D1) is a inputcell

    Probably you are looking for the result in the green cells (column D).

    It is made with countif.

    See the attached file.

    In the future, it would be nice if you add the excelfile, without confidential information yourself.

    It is also good to use Quote tags for quotes and keep Code tags for code
