This task view is similar to the “All Dates” view provided with your Adobe Workfront account. This particular view includes Variance columns, which calculate the difference in days between the following dates:
This view represents an example of calculated columns, in which you can take the values from two different columns and connect them by a calculation to obtain a third value. In this case, you subtract date 1 from date 2.
For more information about using calculations in a View, see the Overview of common uses for Text Mode section in Overview of common uses for Text Mode.
