Calculated Fields Update

Calculated fields now include date-and-time type, duration between dates, timecode, modulus function, and more.

Support for the Date and Time type

The type Date and Time is now fully supported in calculated fields. For example, easily calculate the number of work days since the last update with NETWORKDAYS(TO_DATE({updated_at}),TODAY()). Or you could use NOW()-{updated_at} and get the number of calendar days, with decimals showing fractions of a day.
