Sorry, as it is in Bahasa Indonesia: but you can see that there is the number 3 there. This is my last feature for my app before release! So happy!
What I want is to start a 3 day countdown timer for member who want to join with discount price. All steps already done, but I don’t know whether I can display countdown timer in Glideapps.
Has glide already support this feature?
Thanks!

You can use a math column to subtract Now (current date and time) from the end date and time. That will give you the difference in the number of days. Then you can use a template column to join that number with the other text that you want to display. The calculation updates every 10 seconds.

> Taking the idea from this thread. [https://community.glideapps.com/t/can-i-display-countdown-timer-in-a-column/38528/1](https://community.glideapps.com/t/can-i-display-countdown-timer-in-a-column/38528/1) I created a countdown “component” using a guide from w3schools, then plugged it in Experimental Code column. Demo: [https://media.lowcode.agency/kpu4x2eJ](https://media.lowcode.agency/kpu4x2eJ) Link to use: https://thinhdinhlca.github.io/custom-countdown/ Custom fields: Time (you can reference a date/time column or write it out like I did in the video) Font weight Text align Font size Hope it helps your use …
You can try this.

Thanks! Works as instructed!
I make a 3days in advance for timer: but is there anyway I can format that 71 hours into, let say … 2days:23h:17mins?

To do it exactly how you want it, you would have to do some math for that.
You would have to do something like this. You could probably simplify it a little bit, but basically you need to split apart the days, hours, and minutes, and then put them back together in a template column.

> I took it a step further and included Days as well. You can exclude it if you don’t need it. It’s a little involved, but I’ll explain the best I can. Here is my results: First we have the Duration column, which is obvious and what you already have. Next we have the Days column: FLOOR(D)/100 This is simply taking the duration and dropping off the decimals. The division by 100 will be explained later. Next we have the Hours column: FLOOR(MOD(D,1)\*24)/100 Th…
