I am trying to convert a formula to a column formula and keep getting the same error. Why?
The formula I am trying to use is calculating the number of days between 2 dates: =NETDAYS([Billing Period Start]1, [Billing Period End]1)
The error message I am getting is "The column formula syntax isn’t quite right, see our help article https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2481944 for more information."
The column type is just a text/number column.

You cannot use hardcoded row numbers in a column formula. change each 1 to @row.
[Column Name]@row
