analysta Hi I found your response which works well to calculate days between today and a Due date. Do you know if/how I can swap out TODAY for a date in another column? i.e. I went to know the days betweem dates in another column and the due date. I want negative numbers to show also so that if the date is later than the due date, I can see how many dates it is late by.

ej24-9 Try using formula like:
=IF(ISBLANK([Due Date]),"",DATEDIF([Another Date Column],[Due Date],"d"))
Make sure to use the correct display names of your date columns in the SharePoint list.

ej24-9 Try using this:
=IF(ISBLANK([Due Date]),"",IF([Another Date Column]>[Due Date], -1 * DATEDIF([Due Date],[Another Date Column],"d"),DATEDIF([Another Date Column],[Due Date],"d")))
