ghopkins Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hi, Using ME Pro, I would like product a message box showing the number of days between a date in the future and today's system date. Is this possible in Pro? If so, can you suggest how to go about it? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rberq Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 The hard part is figuring out which Date/Time commands to use. This little loop will figure the number of days from now until Christmas of this year. It repeatedly adds increasing increments to today’s date, until the result equals the target date (Christmas). When the Repeat loop ends, the number of days is in variable N[1]. The image shows the expanded Data/Time command. Note the comment line about a never-ending loop.

Samrae Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 You might want to look at the "Date Time Math" macro in the samples.mex macro file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
