Countdowns are "sharing magnets"! A countdown to a date that means something to you and your network of friends or customers is something you want to share, right? Well guess what, so do your friends, and their friends.
We run a relatively small website but we see 200-500 social shares per day of countdowns that are displayed on our website. That does not including the thousands of our countdowns that have been shared around and embedded on other websites.
Recently a Seattle household made the news and went "viral" on Instagram with a simple display of the number of days remaining in Trump's current presidency term. Tom Petty fans were intruiged by a countdown that appeared on the official Tom Petty website in early 2018. The hugely popular video game, Fortnite received a huge amount of attention and press coverage after introducing mysterious, in-game counters, leaving fans fascinated as to what they were counting down to.Increase conversion rates using the magic of urgencyAs an online marketer or e-commerce company what's your worst enemy? For many it's customer procrastination. They want what you offer but they can always buy it later. Maybe they'll wait until they have more information, more money or more time. There are a million reasons to "do it later".
Dominant and successful online businesses such as Ebay, Amazon and Booking.com make extensive use of urgency as a means to drive action and increase conversions. You can barely visit a successful online store, or ticketing/booking website without being exposed to urgency or scarcity-based marketing tactics. "Less than 5 tickets left at this price", "Hurry, only 3 days until sale ends" or "Order by 5pm to receive next day shipping". These companies are ruthlessly analytical and their tactics are driven by data and experimentation. They use these tactics because they have proven to be effective. Countdown timers are a crucial tool in your urgency-marketing toolbox.Busy? It won't take a moment with our simple but powerful countdown maker!I made this quick video to show how simple it is to create a countdown and embed in it a blog or website.
Mobile web browsing has exploded - if you run a website you may find that more than half your visitors are using smartphones or tablets. Our countdown clocks use mobile friendly code and run very little code on the user's device meaning they won't slow down or otherwise interfere with the user experience. We go beyond mobile-friendly by auto-generating a double-resolution version of your countdown to take advantage of Retina, and other high-resolution displays that are common on many of today's most popular devices.
You wouldn't put just any code into your website. Invalid or incompatible code can break the layout of your web page or display error messages to your visitors. Worse than that, malicious JavaScript code can jeopordize your visitor's security and privacy.
We have two layers of protection built in. Firstly, the code we issue is contained in an iframe, the browser's same-origin policy prevents the iframe content from accessing code in your page, effectivly isolating our code from your website's code. Secondly we serve all our countdowns over an encrypted connection, this prevents hackers from altering the countdown before it loads into your page.
We want your countdown clock to look great, always. Every browser and operating system displays web content a little differently though. Assuming that every browser will render our countdowns with the antialiasing-level, font leading and kerning and effect compositing we want was unthinkable. That's why all our countdowns are pre-rendered by our team of Mac OS X servers so they look just right. We then cache the rendered content at edge locations all over the world so the can be delivered to your visitor, fast.
Page load time is an important factor in visitor satisfaction as well as in search engine ranking algorithms. Be careful when using third party widgets as some of them contain blocking JavaScript code or large files which can negatively impact page load times. Because our countdowns are pre-rendered the code download is very small. We also use edge caching strategies to deliver your countdowns from the location nearest to each user. When we do need to load content from the main server we use sophisticated in-memory caching to pull the data directly from RAM which is faster than reading from a hard disc.
We have timelines or dates, but want to see a countdown to that date. If there was a link column to a date or timeline start simply as a number to show how many days or weeks etc to that date. Awesome.
I am trying to make a count down timer in a repeating group. Basically it is a social media feed and each new post you make will have a 24 hour limit. I want to have a real time countdown in each cell. Each cell will display different times based on when it was posted. Is this possible?
Note that in my example, I am showing the expiration in minutes in order to illustrate the countdown on posts I created a handful of minutes apart. You could have the countdown displayed in hours until it reaches a certain point, and then the countdown could switch to minutes.
I think my app if messed up haha. I put it on a random text element that I could actually find when trying to select an element and it still does not update real time. I even copy and pasted the countdown timer example with all its functionality and it does not show up as an option to select as an element
Before the Artemis I mission launches on its way around the Moon, the launch team at Kennedy Space Center and supporting teams across the country will begin the launch countdown about two days before liftoff. Teams have and incorporated lessons learned from the wet dress rehearsal testing and have refined the launch timeline accordingly.

is there a way to stop a countdown? I am using a countdown to show how many days are left/or past due to a specific date and it works as intended, however, I need this countdown to stop once the actual completion date is entered the countdown stops so that it shows either how many days they were past due or how many days they completed the job ahead of time. Is this possible??
Did the methodology used make sense? In the example above, the -17 is showing that we're 17 calendar days past the Must Finish By date (in this case, April 4th). The -35 means that, for an April 4th MFB, your Completion Date is 5/8. See the screenshot below, in addition to the revised formula.
If there's a date listed in Completion Date, the Countdown column will return nothing, designated by the "". An interesting side note - if you need to track business days as opposed to calendar days, you can play around with NETWORKDAYS(TODAY(), [Must Finish By Date]@row) on the ELSE half of the IF formula. However, it isn't quite as one-to-one as the calendar day version. Try it out for yourself.
The crux of this formula is NETDAYS([Completion Date]@row, [Must Finish By Date]@row). This will give you the ahead of / behind schedule counter you're looking for. The reason there's an IF(ISERROR(... portion to it is to prevent the sheet from returning a bunch of #INVALID DATA for rows without a Completion Date entered. Again, try it out for yourself to get a feel.
