Alternative Methods For Knowing Days Until May 1st
1. The Pen and Paper Method
This classic approach involves writing down today’s date and then May 1st. Next, subtract the day of the month from 1 (e.g., June 14th – May 1st = 13 days remaining). For months with different lengths, you’ll need to factor that in as well.
2. Using Excel
Excel offers a straightforward way to calculate days between two dates using formulas like
=DATEDIF(start_date, end_date, "D")
