How do you Display creation date such as 'x Days ago'?

Rogelio · February 1, 2016, 2:18am

Hi Team,

I would like to display the creation date of say a notification, but rather than displaying the actual date it was created I would like to display it a an ‘X Days ago’?

How do I go about achieving this?

regards

Current date/ time - parent groups thing (or current cells thing or however you have it set up) 's creation date: formatted as days. then manually type in “Days Ago” after it.

If you dont want it to show the decimal as in 3.2 days then add :rounded to 0 at the end of the expression.

@denverdave11 I’m not seeing a formatted as days option. I only see the following

No worries. I had the same problem as you did, it took me a while to realize what I was doing wrong.

@cakeheke
i m still not able to see the “Formated as days”. Do you have any idea why?

@cm1 Look for “Format As”, instead of “Formatted As”. Also try “parent group”, instead of “current cell”
