	You need curly brackets around fields (like formulas) totext(floor({@DateTimeRecvd})/1440,0,'') + ' days ' + totext( (remainder({@DateTimeRecvd},1440) /60) ,2,'' ) + ' hours '

	oops...I copied and pasted something and it messed up the format. try totext(floor({@DateTimeRecvd},1440)/1440,0,'') + ' days ' + totext( (remainder({@DateTimeRecvd},1440) /60) ,2,'' ) + ' hours'

	It's complaining of a missing right bracket ")" at floors

	it is floor , not floors totext(floor({@DateTimeRecvd},1440)/1440,0,'') + ' days ' + totext((remainder({@DateTimeRecvd},1440)/60),2,'') + ' hours'

	Hmmm, copied and pasted and same issue. Is the formula version sensitive? I'm running CR 10.0 Pro.

	I thought *floor* was available in v10 but maybe is was added later...try using truncate instead totext(truncate({@DateTimeRecvd}/1440),0,'') + ' days ' + totext((remainder({@DateTimeRecvd},1440)/60),2,'') + ' hours' Edited by DBlank - 27 Sep 2012 at 11:02am

	FYI, under math functions I do see truncate but not floor. I tried the truncate option and it's now complaining "a number or currency amount is required here" at @DateTimeRecvd
