Sharepoint List Formula

Hello, 

I am looking to use a calculated cell but can't seem to find a solution. 

 

The cells I am looking to calculate are as follows

 

Date Received

Date Completed. 

 

I am looking to calculate the age of a report based on date received date completed, but also for open reports date received and [TODAY]

 

Hope someone one can help!

    ChrisWoodiow One thing you need to be aware of is that a calculated column is not dynamic and so will not automatically update every day. It will only update when the item is modified. You could have a single line of text or a number column that is formatted with JSON which is dynamic, or you could have a flow in Power Automate set to run every day which updates that number column with the age.
