Calculations

How to best calculate working days in relation to calculating deadlines.

RE: Calculations

Dear Antony

Thank you for attending Excel Intermediate course. I hope you enjoyed the course and are finding the topics covered during the training useful.

I am hoping that you do understand that date calculations will be required.

If your query is specific to some scenario at work then please let me know.

It is quite straight forward to do a date calculation.

In one cell you enter a function called =Today() (this will ensure that the date will update everyday when the file is opened. It will take the date from your system so please ensure that your system date is curate).

On the other cell you enter may be the deadline date when you wish to complete a task

Do a simple subtraction formula between the two cells and you should get the results in days.

I hope this answers your query if you have further query then please hit the reply button and ask for further clarification!! If this has answered your question then may I please request you to mark this post as resolved!!

Many thanks

Kindest Regards

Excel tip:

Apply currency format quickly in Excel

To quickly apply the currency format to cell in your spreadsheet, select (highlight) the cells you wish to apply currency format to, then use Ctrl + Shift + $

This will apply a pounds symbol even though the $ key is pressed.
