Calculated Field Showing as Negative Value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Harry Stover 10

Hello there, 

I've just created a calculated field which will count days that an Opportunity record is active. This field is called Lifespan. So each day the value should grow +1. 

The behaviour is set as below. This somewhat works as each day the value changes, however the value is decreasing. ie. The day its created the value is 0, the next day is -1, then -2 etc.

I'd like this field to increase daily rather than decrease. I tried changing the order of the the Action to DIFFINDAYS(createdon,NOW()), but this gives an error due to the data types. Would appreciate any advice on this.

Thanks,

Harry

    Hi Pradeep,

    Thanks for this. I was attempting this yesterday and was getting an error due to the data types. It seems to be working as intended now.

    Thank you very much for the speedy response!
