How to update a 'Days old' column in sharepoint?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

 

I'm building a helpdesk sharepoint list and I need a column that shows the number of days old each item is.

 

I'm checked it up and found that I'll need to do a scheduled flow that increments the number of day(s) daily.

 

How would I achieve this?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Regards,

 

Daniel

    Have you tried using calculated column directly on sharepoint?

    Thank you so much for this! Will this update daily to reflect the current number of days old the item is?

     

    Thank you again for your help!

    Hi @Mira_Ghaly ,

     

    I tried the formula you suggested and I got this error message:
