    You need to use the Date Picker tool and the Form Calculation widget in order to achieve this.

    You can find this tool under the Basic Form Elements. Here's a screenshot:

    Once you have created 2 Date Pickers, then you need to use the Form Calculation widget and create the formula provided by my colleague on that thread.

    Kindly refer to this user guide: How-to-Perform-Form-Calculation-Using-a-Widget.

    If you have any questions, let us know. Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately the thread you linked to is
    unclear. The issue with that thread is that there is a red arrow covering
    part of the calculation. Either way I figured it out, the arrow is
    covering a "-" symbol which completes the calculation.

    Interestingly enough, the other thread is incorrect, the thread shows a
    "round" function when it should be "Floor"
