Calculate date difference in Custom column

Hi @flamber i saw in "Allow custom fields ("custom columns") to work with text and datetime fields #11330" that calculating date difference is already planned in version 0.40.

Am using 0.41 but feature is not available. Is this yet to be released ?

Thanks
Krishna

Hi @Krishna

We cannot tackle issues, which are too broad. The issue was closed, as I wrote in the comment.

There's a separate issue open for date difference:

@flamber

In https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/16870, its mentioned that we can try by putting the date field manually in Custom formula.

I tried this and it works fine! Could get the number of days between 2 dates. Am using Oracle.
