    Coloumn Countdown

    Hi there,
    Can you set a coloumn to count down numbers by a weekly basis. ie
    on monday the number will be 5
    Next monday the number will be changed to 4 automatically
    and so on.
    Not sure wether Excel can do this but i am a complete amateur.

    Many thanks

    Hi,
    As an example with next monday cell A1 =DATE(2006,10,30)

    type in cell B1

    =IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=2,5-((A1-DATE(2006,10,30))/7),"")

    for the formula to work as you wish, cell A1 should contain =Today()

    HTH

    subtract a date from Now() and take the Mod of that divided by 7

    something like put 2/12/2006 in A1 ( a date 5 weeks hence)

    and use

    =INT(MOD(((A1-NOW())/7),7))

    hth

    added, If I could type more quickly I wouldn't cross-post so often.
