Hello,
I’m creating a maintenance schedule but I’m having difficulties create a formula that shows me the “due status” based on how many days ago an item was serviced. Individual item have different frequency of service: Monthly, Quarterly, Annually, and so on.
I have a single select field that dictate the frequency for each type or maintenance.
I was able to create a formula to calculate cost using a base cost * how often we perform it, but I’m having trouble applying it to idea I’m trying to perform.
What I’m trying to do is
This is what I kind of have but it’s probably wrong.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You’re on the right track. Check out this base, which I think does what you’re looking for.
To view the formulas, duplicate the base by clicking the title of the base at the top of the screen, then the three horizontal dots on the right, and then the “Duplicate Base” button.
I made Day Difference
its own field as it felt clearer to me, but that’s easily changeable

Thank you @Adam_TheTimeSavingCo, You did show me the right path to get to where I want.
I think your idea of having a due date is neat, that way I don’t rely on the status alone.
I did consolidated the calculation into one formular to save me and extra field but having the extra field initially definitely help with where I want to set the number.
Thanks very much for the help.
