How do you calculate the average number of days between a submitted date and a start date?

Carlos Fernandez-Torres

Additional context: We use Smartsheet to track support requests from the organization. We have an automated column that records the day the form is filled out. The form also has a date range of when they need their request completed by. I would like to calculate the average amount of days people provide from the day they submit the form and the start date.

I have no idea which formulas to use for this.

Please help! 👏

You would first need to use a helper column with a basic formula in it to calculate the number of days on each row. Then you would be able to average this helper column.
