Calculate difference of days
I have two columns in a SP list. One is called 'Date Started' and the other one is called 'Date Ended'. I would like to calculate the difference in days. The problem I am facing is that the 'Date Ended' column has a timestamp whilst the other column does not. I only want to know the amount of days passed and dont need anything with the timestamp really.

Thanks for this, worked for me using the following syntax:
=DATEDIF([Start Date],TODAY(),"D").

Hi thanks for this - I have tried this and it hasnt worked. It gives me an error in the syntax.
Here is an example from my data (also I am from the UK so the date format is different)
Date Started: 09/12/2023 12:45
Date Ended: 12/12/2023
Total days taken : 3

Only a year or so later 🤣
Have you tried just having a date not datetime? Datetime can be a pig at times.
