Hi - Dave here.

Happy Friday!

All food products have expiration dates and you might want a simple way to track how much time remains before a product expires.

A perfect job for Excel :)

In this example, I provide 3 formulas that get the job done in different ways:

1. Calculate remaining time in days
2. Calculate remaining time in years, months, and days
3. Calculate remaining time as a percentage of shelf life

In the worksheet below, you can see the first approach:

The article above explains all 3 formulas with links to related functions. Download the workbook and try it out yourself.

Note: This example will work in any Excel version.

Have a great weekend!
