Is there a way of showing this from a date within a sheet referencing today’s date?

In Glide yes, it’s trivial with Date math. 3 days ago: Now - 3 tomorrow: Now + 1 a month ago: Now - 30 (rough approximation - if you need exactly one month, that’s possible but a slightly more complex formula required) Some references: [image] Glide Docs Welcome to Glide Docs, a stea…

Thanks Darren, I’ve got something working, but it will only show day count [Screen Shot 2021-06-01 at 8.44.09 PM] I’m looking for the reverse of what’s in this next image. you auto display natural language based on a date [Screen Shot 2021-06-01 at 8.41.19 PM]

I thought this was a nocode platform! :rofl:

Zero code required, I can assure you of that. It’s probably not that bad, actually. Let’s just consider the case of dates in the past. Your “rules” might be something like: Within 5 mins of now: “just now” More than 5 mins ago, but less than one hour: “xx mins ago” More than 1 hour ago, but less…

The commenting feature in Glide has relative dates by default. This relative date construct in Glide allows you to have relative dates anywhere.

'3 days ago', 'a month ago' 'tomorrow'
