Custom field - Formula with dates.

Custom field - Formula with dates.

Hi All,

Very new to Zoho although pretty well versed with other CRM products. As part of our migration process, we're testing specific areas of functionality.
On our old CRM we have a simple date formula explained like so:

Start = 01/01/2015
Finish = 10/01/2015
Difference = +9 Days
Is under 30 days? = YES

The above set of questions help us establish a client has performed a specific task within a strict 30 day time frame. Only when the client exceeds the 30 day limit is it of interest to us. If not, we do not take on that case.

I would really like some help with the formula function in Zoho, it seems to be a little harder to understand that other systems, although thats not a complaint, it equally seems to be more powerful.

The custom fields to enter the dates have been created but i can't seem to get the syntax correct.

Thanks for your help.
