Help with date

Hi,

 

im trying to calculate the number of days an item is opened. (Attached below)

 

If Column A is Blank, Column B should show the number of days an item is opened for

 

However if column A has a date, then colmn B should be blank or have "0"

 

Another issue im having is the huge negative number on column B

 

Thank you

@Anonymous , Try a new column like

if(isblank([A]), datediff([date creation],today(), day), 0)
