Want to convert date to its Days Number format as is shown in Excel popup for formatting cell. I want to enumerate days between Arrival Date & Departure Date for further calculations. Screen Shot attached to clarify my query.

If your eventual goal is to calculate difference in days between two dates, I suggest you use the DateDiff function.

Here is more info about it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-dateadd-datediff#description

The idea proposed by @PowerAddict is correct. If you want to show exactly the same number as in your picture use this code.

DateDiff(Date(1900,1,0),Today(),Days)+1

The output will be a number

43876

And just to add to that, if the eventual goal is to calculate the difference between Arrival Date and Departure Date, you can simply use DataDiff to do that:

DataDiff(ArrivalDate, DepartureDate) will give you DepartureDate-ArrivalDate

DateDiff(DepartureDate, ArrivalDate) will give you ArrivalDate-DepartureDate
