The issue with this is that in the list view, \Today\ will not update unless the item is updated. So, if you add a new item on Monday, and the \Days Until\ you are using today to calculate is calculated at \3\, and then you view the list on Tuesday, it will still say \3\, unless you update the item on the list…

I tried this and it worked immediately. However, true to other posts I have read, the next day the number of days did not change. In other words, TODAY was not dynamic and did not change. Do you know if there is another way to use TODAY’s date in a calculated field that will be dynamic?

This tip does not work, the [Today] field is never updated.
