ATOI365D#Office365Challenge If you need to calculate the difference between dates (on SharePoint), it’s a lot easier than you think.

Day: 277 of 365, 88 left
Tools: Office 365, SharePoint
Description: SharePoint Calculate difference between two dates
Audience: All

You require two date columns in your library/list (I’ve just used the Created and Modified columns).

Create a calculated column, select the columns and add a minus “-” between the columns:

021216001

Here you’ll see the value automatically populated:

021216002

You can also calculate the difference in months and even ignore the years:

021216003

 

Yay for formulas!

Overview of my challenge: As an absolute lover of all things Microsoft, I’ve decided to undertake the challenge, of writing a blog every single day, for the next 365 days. Crazy, I know. And I’ll try my best, but if I cannot find something good to say about Office 365 and the Tools it includes for 365 days, I’m changing my profession. So let’s write this epic tale of “Around the Office in 365 Days”. My ode to Microsoft Office 365.
Keep in mind that these tips and tricks do not only apply to Office 365 – but where applicable, to the overall Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.
