How to make a cell counts #of days backwards?

Example:

Feb 12 ......(A1 cell appears =12 )
Feb 13 ......(A1 cells appears = 11)
Feb 14.....(A1 cells appears = 10)

And in the next month

March 01 (A1 cell goes back to =31) so on so forth..

But this is automated and relies calendar date on the pc calendar itself.. Is this possible 😐

And that example A1 cell #of days remaining... I will need to get that data to divide the remaining locations per day.. At the moment i just doing it manually..cheers ..if only possible though 🙂

What are you counting backwards from? What date is zero?

You can use the date you enter minus the'zero' date and use abs() to ensure it always shows a positive value.

=day(eomonth(A1, 0))-day(A1)

where A1 is your date.
