Hello @edagdemirkbzf  
The issue might be that the app variable “DayDifference” is a text set from a text input and not a number.  
A workaround is to use a math block to convert it to a number. For example plus 0 or multiply by one  
Here is how a similar issue was solved: [[Solved] How to sum all of item in simple list? - #3 by manyone](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-how-to-sum-all-of-item-in-simple-list/3115534/3)
