Question

The director of marketing has asked the app builder to create a formula field that tracks how many days have elapsed since a contact was sent a marketing communication. The director is only interested in whole units. Which function should be used to calculate the difference? A. Datevalue() B. Now() C. Date() D. Today()

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Today()

Explanation:

Date value function: This function converts the date form into the text form.  For example, The date is 21/08/2019 so, this function coverts August 21, 2019.  

Now function: This function shows the current date and the time which is actually shown in the computer system.  

Date function: In this function, we take the month, date, and the year simultaneously, so that it can become the valid date.  

Today function: This function works when the user wants the date of a particular thing. It can be the current date, backdate or forward date

So, in the given situation, the director wants how many days have elapsed, so for this, we use the today() function.
