Ready to start using a live countdown timer? In this video, I'll show you how to build a live countdown timer in Google Sheets, starting with days / hrs / minutes, but then I'll show you how to break it down further if you want to add weeks and equip you with the logic to keep going if you want.
**NOTE**
You could display seconds in this timer, but you can't update the timer every second in Google Sheets, which is why we use minutes as the final metric.
