Modified Date & Todays Date

[MelHart]

I am using a formula in a list that requires the number days from today’s date to be calculated. I can’t find anything online that will make that happen. Is there anything that will address that.  FORMULA is  =if([Applicant Date]>0, [Applicant Date]-[Vacate Date], [Today]-[Vacate Date]

I realize SharePoint doesn’t like the =today() function and returns the modified date but I was wondering if there is a way to make flow update every item in the list each morning so the Modified date is today’s date?

I.e. if the item status is set to a particular condition then change a field to add one.

Hi @MelHart,

If you would like to calculate date difference with the current date, we could achieve that within Microsoft Flow.

Flow uses UTCNow() function to get the current date, and there is formatdatetime() function available which could restrict the format to day only.

If the month and the year is the same, then it should be available to calculate date difference within Microsoft Flow.

Further, if month and the year is different, then you may consider create a column under SharePoint, then use Flow to update this column with the current date, after that, do the calculation within SharePoint calculated column.

Run flows on a schedule
