Syntax

DateDiff(Now(), DueDate, TimeUnit.Hours)

Common mistakes & gotchas

• Now() returns the local date/time of the device running the app, not a server timestamp — two users in different time zones get different values at the same moment.
• Now() is volatile and recalculates on every re-evaluation — binding a label's Text directly to it causes more re-renders than expected; drive a live clock from a Timer instead.
