I want to show in my app how old something is from the current date. I plan to have a list of items that a user adds, and then I want to show how long ago it was added (2 days ago… etc.).
My husband owns a small trucking company, and drivers get paid a week after submitting their deliveries. So I would like to have a view to show which deliveries are ready to be paid out by showing which ones are over a week old.
At least, that is my plan.
This is my first time using glide, so I’m fairly new, but I’m excited at what glide can do for our small business.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Assuming you have all your deliveries logged in a table - let’s call it “Deliveries”:
- add a datetime column to your Deliveries table
- whenever a delivery is submitted, update that column using the special value “current date/time”
- then all you need is a simple math column to compare the delivery date to the current date/time
It might look something like this:
