We're going to figure out how many days till New Year's Day. But we're going to do something really cool. We're going to automate this with a formula . And I'm going to show you something really cool, that this is going to actually be automated for every single year. So let's delete this text, because we're not going to enter text. We're going to enter the equal sign. We're going to do date diff, which is the date difference between a start date and an end date . For the start date , let's choose today. We're using the formula today to put that in automatically. And that's going to change every single day. The end date , now, is going to be Date, we're going to put a formula , date, and now we need a year, 2025, comma, 1, comma, 1. So that's the first day of the first month of 2025.
