> [@date Guide on Dates & Times](https://community.glideapps.com/t/guide-on-dates-times/70381): > > The Date & Time column contains both a date and time value within one single value. Dates and times can therefore be tricky to understand and to work with. It helps to keep things simple to stay out of trouble. Here are a few tips: Writing dates Avoid writing dates manually. Use a picker instead. If done via import, be weary of the format of the date column in the source. Relations Anytime you create a relation with a date, convert the date to either a string (template column) or a number (… You might need it bookmarked. I’d use javascript column and get chatgpt to make it if anything beyound these ---

Try this. ```auto Round(Date- (((Date+CEILING((YEAR(Date)-YEAR(Date))*365.2424)-DAY(Date)+15)-(MONTH(Date)-1)*30)-DAY((Date+CEILING((YEAR(Date)-YEAR(Date))*365.2424)-DAY(Date)+15)-(MONTH(Date)-1)*30)+1)) ``` ---

You don’t need to complexity yourself. Just use the native Luxon format day of the year in the format Date computed column: ![1000014213](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/0/30d1375b0fa9b38e40e2fa923d9b707c6936cdd9.jpeg) Today is feb 4th, so 31 days of January + 4 days of feb = 35! 🙂 ---

Many of us are generally not in favor of using the Format Date column because it has a lot of compatibility issues with different devices and different regions. If it works it works, but I would do a heck of a lot more testing to verify the results from Format Date as compared to the Math column. Seen too many posts about unexpected results from using it. ---
