Pls guide me on this matter. I enter formula:

=9/5/2006-TODAY()&" days to go"

it display, 182 days to go
but when the date over, it turn negatif, like '-5 days to go'
How to stop the countdown after the date?

Hi

You could use the MAX function:
=MAX(9/5/2006-TODAY(),0)&" days to go"

=9/5/2006-TODAY()&" days to go"

use an if function

if (9/5/2006-today()>0= 9/5/2006&"days to go","Arrived")

Assuming you have entered the date correctly!

Regards

Something like this maybe:

=IF( TODAY() =DATEVALUE("9/25/2006"), "Arrived", IF(TODAY() >
DATEVALUE("9/25/2006"), "In the past",DATEVALUE("9/25/2006") - TODAY() & "
days to go"))
