Can one of the "nice" folks here, help me?
I want a formula to kinda show. (N) number of days you can put somthing off is< less than &#8734; infinity. Would that be (N) > &#8734; ? Perhaps dressed up with the correct symbols. :mg:

I always remembered the < looks like an upper-case L (sort of) which "Less than" starts with. :)
