I got dates under column A and days passed by since date in column A in
Column B. How do I ask it to auto calculate the days passed with reference to
the date in real time.

Example:

A B
5 march 2010 11days
10 march 2010 6days

Given today's date is 17 march 2010

Try

=SUMPRODUCT(INT((TODAY()-A1+WEEKDAY(A1-{2,3,4,5,6}))/7))

OR (From Analysis Tool Pak Add-In)
=NETWORKDAYS(A1,TODAY())
