Hi gliders, How would you create a “Today” in glide table. I want to build an app that is solely built in glide table and can’t find a way to create a column that will show today’s date across all rows. Any ideas? 🤦🏻‍♂️ ---

Create a math column and set it to Now. ---

Indeed! One of the best features of the year! Been asking for _months_. ---

Guess I’ve missed it. Just write now? ---

No, select it. It’s a new math column feature. > [@new Date-time Math](https://community.glideapps.com/t/date-time-math/15963): > > The Math column can now do math with date/times. In particular: Subtracting two date/times produces a duration, which is a number and is measured in days, like in Google Sheets. Adding a duration (number) to a date/time, or subtracting it from a date/time will add/subtract that many days to it. You can pick “Now” as a substitution for a variable. ---

Worked perfectly. Thank both. Now I have something wiered, I’m doing roll-up over relation to sum days, hours and min. The hours and min are result of the days which is math between 2 dates. The roll-up don’t allow me to sum the days but works perfect for the hours and min which as I said both are result of the days calc. (i.e days divided by 24to get hours and hours decided by 60 to get min) ---

Would a template over the days calc allow you to do a rollup? ---

Didn’t do it for some reason but not critical for the app itself, just weird
