How do I create a formula that will retrieve the most recent user and date log out of a notes field and put that in a separate field so we can see who was the last one to communicate in the notes and ...

Bob,

You need a Duration field

Today()-[Calculated Note Date]

Then make it display as Days in the format section

So if I add that to my formula...

Trim(Left([my update field],"]"))

What does that look like?

    the answer that I initially provided was professed with the comment that the newest entries are being logged at the bottom. If you have your field set to log the newest entries at the top then this is the formula for a formula date field type to extract the date.

    ToDate(NotLeft(Left([append at top], " "),1))

    If you are looking to know the integer number of days between Today and that extracted date, then you could make a formula numeric field with this formula. 

    Todays(
    Today() -  ToDate(NotLeft(Left([append at top], " "),1))
    )
