# Days Overdue

Hi,

I am trying to work out the simplest way to calculate the number of days overdue.

For example, due date was 07 Nov 2022, hence just looking for a simple equation to determine the number of days this has now been overdue.

I have tried to use = DATEDIF (<start date>, TODAY (), “d”) but seems to not work.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

RE: # Days Overdue

Hi Kay,

Thank you for the forum question.

Try

=today()-"Due Date"

Or if you want working days

=NETWORKDAYS("Due Date",TODAY())

Kind regards
