The hottest itâs ever been in Key West is 97Â° F (36Â° C), and that was way back in 1880. At the peak of summer, the average high is 89Â° F (32Â° C).
To count the days before a date, you can use the TODAY function. Example. The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet. Create a blank workbook or worksheet. Select the example in the Help topic. Note: Do not select the row or column headers.
Another option for calculating the number of days between two dates is to use the DATEDIF function. This function was included in Excel to provide compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets, and is not included in the standard list of formulas in Excel, as you can see in the following example.
