So, here is my ‘idea’
I’d like to make a table where I can events or birthdays in one column, and in the other have the days but count down each day.
| Event | Days until |
| --- | --- |
| Person Birthday | Days left until |
| Upcoming Event | Days left until |
| Another person birthday | Days left until |
```space-script
| Event | Days until |
| ---- | --- |
| Person Birthday | Days left until |
| Upcoming Event | Days left until |
| Another person birthday | Days left until |
```
I’ve been dabbling with this:
```space-script
silverbullet.registerFunction("daysTillDate",(date) => {
const parsedDate = Temporal.PlainDate.from(date)
const now = Temporal.Now.plainDateISO();
return now.until(parsedDate, { largestUnit: 'days' }).days
})
```
but I can’t figure out how to make things work in the table.

> ```template
> | Events | Days Left |
> |----------|----------|
> | Event A | {{daysTillDate(“2025-01-24”)}} |
> | Event B | {{daysTillDate(“2025-01-28”)}} |
> ```
This worked for me. Is this what you were looking for?

It is.
It didn’t cross my mind to toss it in a code box…
Thank you.
