VBA How many days has passed since date from cell

[LBee]

I have this Macro, which look in column A where I have different dates, and writes in column B how many days has passed since the date in column A

Sub Test()

    Dim Lastrow As Long
    Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
   

    Range("B2").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
        "=IF(RC[-1]>TODAY()+TIME(0,0,0),0,ROUNDUP(TODAY()-RC[-1],0))"
    Range("B2").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("B2:" & "B" & Lastrow)
    Range("B2:" & "B" & Lastrow).Select
    Selection.NumberFormat = "@"

   
End Sub

The above code works fine, but I'm trying to replace TODAY with a fixed date I have in cell D2, and it looks easy, but I really can't figure it out
I have tried so many different things, but everything gives me an error, or a strange date instead of number of days.
Can someone give me a little push in the right direction?

try replacing TODAY() with R2C4.

By the way, you don't need all the .Select's, e.g.

'instead of
Range("B2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _

'you can have
Range("B2").FormulaR1C1 = _

Another way you could do it:

With Range("B2:" & "B" & Lastrow)
    .Formula = "=MAX(0,D$2-INT(A2))"
    .NumberFormat = "@"
End With

Hi StephenCrump

Thanks a lot for your reply, it solved my problem.
The reason why I wanted a cell name instead of the R1C1 formula, is because its a part of a bigger macro, and I reuse the code in the different step (just took this part out for simplicity), but this could actually work.

I'm quite new to this, and have never used the With function, but it look a lot simpler than my code, and I definitely have to look in to that.

Once again - Thanks a lot ?
