HTG Explains How to Perform Date Calculations with Windows Calculator


Would you like to know how many days old are you today? 
Can you tell what will be the date 78 days from now? 
How many days are left till Christmas? 
How many days have passed since your last birthday? 
All these questions have their answers hidden within Windows!!! Curious? 

Keep reading to see how you can answer these questions in an instant using Windows’ built-in utility called ‘Calculator’.

To start, open Calculator by pressing the winkey, and type calculator.
Open it. *this date calculation function works in both Windows 7 and 8*.
Click View, and select Date Calculation (or press Ctrl+E).

Ah! there you are...

You can perform two types of calculations here:
- Calculating the difference between two dates
- Adding or subtracting a number (days) to a date

Click the Calendar button in the From field to select your birth date. 
It will be showing the current date. Navigating through the calendar is easy. 
Click the title (Month), and it zooms back to show all the months of the year and the title is changed from Month to Year. 
Click it again to see a list of years in the current decade, and the title changes to the decade it is showing (alternatively, click the buttons on the left and right to move between years). Click the title again to show several decades.




Now that you can navigate through the calendar, select your desire date and click Calculate.


Interesting isnt it...?
Now you can work out with your date functions with ease.
