SharePoint List Calculated End Date Column Not Displaying Results to Other Users

Hello All:  I created a calculation that returns an end date and end time based on the start date and start time using an IF statement.  The calcuation works fine.  I can see the results as the SharePoint owner. However, other SharePoint owners and users cannot see the end date results.  Other users and owers could see the results at one point. Now, they cannot see them.  Can anyone help me solve this problem? See pics below depicting the SharePoint owner view and user view.   Thank you.

    1. Check Permissions: Ensure that the other SharePoint owners and users have the necessary permissions to view the calculated column. Sometimes, permissions might get altered unintentionally

    2. Column Settings: Verify that the calculated column is set to be visible to all users. Go to the list settings, find the calculated column, and check its settings
    3. View Settings: Make sure the view that other users are accessing includes the calculated column. Sometimes, custom views might not display all columns

    4. Recalculate: Try to force a recalculation of the column by making a minor edit to the formula or by updating an item in the list

      Kidd_Ip Thanks for the reply. I troubleshooted as suggested prior and nothing. I recreated the list and found the problem.  The issue was a glitch in the formatting.  I never touched the formatting, for some reason the formatting of that column was activated causing the view to be unseen by users. That was weird.  Thanks again.
