A day is= 1 in excel. 

assume:

cell A1 contains the date the application was received 

Deadline date cell A2 (make sure the cell is formated as date)

=A1+42

 

Days remaining (if you want positive numbers). Makes sure this cell is NOT date (you can press Ctrl+0 in that cell). 

=A2-TODAY()

alternatively:

=TODAY()-A2

if you want negative numbers, like D-day -11

 

And so on. Play around and read more:
