This should be a very simple task but Glide is tripping me up. Can you help?

It will end up in this screen:

Precision is only for display purposes. The underlying value is still there. Instead set up your math like ROUND(Today-x).

That’s weird. I wouldn’t have expected that since it’s still a number. Does refreshing the browser make a difference? I’ll have to test this out.
