    TODAY Function against a hidden reference date

    Hi,

    I hope everyone is doing well in this new year 2023. Well, I am a bit stuck with this idea of hidden reference date against the TODAY function. Actually, I want to display the number of days between a past date and TODAY. However, I want to do this with a date that is not displayed anywhere, but is rather embedded inside the formula; kind of =TODAY()-2022/09/30. Is this possible?

    You could use the DATEVALUE function to convert your text to actual date

    =TODAY()-DATEVALUE("2022/09/30")

    Or try
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =TODAY()-DATE(2022,9,30)
