Remaining days to New Year from today
This tutorial shows how to calculate the remaining days from today to New Year in Excel
|
GENERIC FORMULA =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,31)+1-TODAY()
EXPLANATION This formula uses a combination of the DATE, YEAR and TODAY function to calculate the number of days left in a year, including the end date. At the beginning of the formula we use the DATE function to return the last date for the year, with the month and day fixed at 12 months (representing the December month number) and 31 days (representing the last day in December). The current year is derived by inserting today's date, through the use of a TODAY function, inside the YEAR function to return the current year.
We add one (1) to the DATE function to include the end date and then subtract today's date, through the use of TODAY function. This will return the days remaining until the new year (end of the current year) from today's date, including the end date. |
