I need to find the difference in days between a date stored in airtable (YYYY-MM-DD) format and current date. Is there any easy way to do this?

Thank you. I did search, but the webapi is not working for me. I was wondering if there was a way to calculate the seconds since epoch for airtable and use that.

Two different ways to do it.
- Using the formula in Airtable, create a table with only one row and in that row have 3 columns, first and second columns to enter the date you want using the app. The **third column** is a formula column to get you the difference between the first two columns.
- If you find Airtable formulas not very easy, connect the Google sheet and do the same with the sheet which will give you the difference between the two dates.
