- RyanStanford1Qrew Captainif the date field is a date/time type, you may have to have something like:
ToDays(Today() - ToDate([Date/Time Field]))- KatrinaEQrew CadetThat worked! Thanks!
- KatrinaEQrew CadetI have another issue, so I'm trying to calculate the difference between the assigned start date from todays date. This is for the user to know how many days he has left to start the project, now I would like a value of NA to indicate the project has already started. How do I go about that?
- QuickBaseCoachDQrew Captainif you have a formula numeric field, the formula would be
ToDays(Today()-[date field])
The today() function returns today's date. The similarly (but different) named function "ToDays ( )" converts a duration result to the number of days, i.e. a number.- AlexandraochoaQrew TraineeInstead of using a date field could I use a sample status? I wanna see how I can check how many day a sample is sitting in a certain status

- KatrinaEQrew CadetTried to use this but it says the minus sign does that work for date or datetime field types.
- JordanMcAlisterQrew CaptainYou could set up an "If" statement if you have a "Project Start Date" but I think the field would have to be a formula text field:
If(
not IsNull([Project Start Date]),"N/A",
ToText(ToDays(Today() - ToDate([Assigned Date]))
)
)
unfortunately with this is if you sort by this field, it will sort alphabetically and not numerically. For example, if you had the data: 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 22, 42, N/A
it would sort to this:
1
12
2
22
3
4
42
N/A- RyanStanford1Qrew Captain^^^^ What he said.
