Simple Script: update field using another field.

[Kitty_Matz]

I have a field with a formula that calculates total days using this formula: 

IF({Status ✏️}="Unassigned", WORKDAY_DIFF({Create Date},TODAY(),'2023-09-04'), "N/A")

The formula works, but returns results of 1, 2, 3 etc., which when i try to use this column in a graph it does not sort correctly.  I need the results to be 01, 02, 03 to be able to sort in ascending or descending order or I need a field that reads the formula field and converts it to a number that can be sorted. 
Any suggestions are appreciated.

It appears that the field is being sorted as a string type because of the "N/A" in the return value of false. If the return value is removed, the field should be sorted as numeric.

IF({Status :pencil:}="Unassigned", WORKDAY_DIFF({Create Date},TODAY(),'2023-09-04'))
