Yes, as long as datecolumn is always less than today (in the past). The format is:

 

Days = DATEDIFF([datecolumn],TODAY(),DAY)

 

This would be for a custom column.

 

If it is not always in the past, you could do it this way:

 

Days = datecolumn = TODAY() * 1.

Hi @kishoresakamuri,

 

Of course, you can. The syntax of DATEDIFF() is below:

 

DATEDIFF(<start_date>, <end_date>, <interval>)

I have tried multiple times to get the diference between today and start date but always getting error. All i need is just the AGING of the line item.

 

Also, it should be WORKING DAYS. but I could not get beyond this...
