Welcome, @anon39323229,

That’s not possible today, but in the recent announcement of basic formula custom field is a mention of additional functionality coming, and another post in that thread asks for the same “today” calc ability, so we’re hopeful…

Thanks,

Do you know if there have been any updates to this question? I keep seeing posts about the “improved power” of formulas, but… I’m not seeing it in practice anywhere.

Really would like to see this!

Hi, I am looking for a way to count the number of days since an inputted date. Had a look into the advanced formula section and can see things like ‘DateAdd’ and ‘DateSubtract’ but nothing along the lines of ‘Current Date’, ‘Today’ etc.

Anyone know a solution to this?

I am working with a client who is trying to use custom fields and formulas to calculate aging. Any updates on when this may be a possible function would be incredible.

Welcome, @Mitchell_Schwartz,

This is expected; see this new thread into which I merged your post for more info.

Thanks,

Larry

“expected” is a bit overly optimistic…

Here’s how to calculate your age.
Is this helpful?

Good news everyone! Happy to let you know that the TODAY function is gradually rolling out!
