how to wrte a formula in the saved search results tab to subtract two columns from each other and display the difference

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To write a formula in the saved search results tab to subtract two columns from each other and display the difference, you can use a formula field. The formula field allows you to perform calculations on the fields in your saved search. Here's how you can do it: 1. In your saved search, go to the Results tab. 2. Click on 'New Field' to create a new column. 3. In the 'Summary Type' dropdown, select 'Formula (Numeric)'. 4. In the 'Formula' field, enter your formula. If you want to subtract field 'y' from field 'x', you would enter

{x}-{y}

. Replace 'x' and 'y' with the actual field IDs you want to use. Please note that this will work for standard fields. If you want to subtract summary fields, NetSuite does not support this directly. If you are dealing with date fields and you want to get the difference in days, you can use a similar approach but you might need to use the

TO_DATE

function to convert the fields to date format first, like so:

ABS(TO_DATE({enddate})-TO_DATE({startdate}))
