Simon,

you probably need to interpret your Createdate as date, so QV assings a numeric value representation to the value, thus allowing Now() - Createdate to return the number of days.

Please check

Try this.

Today()-Date(Createdate)

Now()- is returns date with full timestamp MM-DD-YYYY hh:mm:ss ffff

today() - is returns MM-DD-YYYY
