Calculate 1 week before a date in Google Sheets

Use Lido's spreadsheet to calculate a reminder date 1 week (7 days) before a Google Sheets date.

For example, if your expiration dates are in column G, then your formula is simply:

=G2-7

Send reminder email

Write another formula to check if today's date is equal to your calculated reminder date. If it is, then automatically trigger an email with Lido's SENDGMAIL formula. You can include details from a Google Sheets row in the subject or body of your email.

IF(TODAY()=H2, SENDGMAIL(<sender-email>, "recipient@email.com", "Reminder!", "Deadline is in 1 week"))
