Hi Theo. What do you mean by “count the number of dates today inside the column”, could you give an example? ---

Please always be more specific when asking for help in this community, and if you can, provide some screenshots or a video. That would assist us a lot in figuring out a solution for you. If you mean you have a date column, and want to count how many dates of those are today: - Create an if-then-else column, if date is within today then true, else null. - Create a rollup column to count the number of “true” instances in the if-then-else column above.
