To see “a year” is not helpful. Why isn’t there an option to control the presentation of the time? It seems that this feature been updated [since four years](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/quot-Time-Between-quot-calculated-properties-provide-exact/idi-p/360539) ago! If anyone knows a workaround for this, I would be grateful to hear it. ![CleanShot 2024-05-12 at 06.57.46@2x.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/7/c7d2f66769aabe72cac598e4dc6402ad816312df.png) ---

Hi @darkpatterns Could you list some more information below on which properties you are using and how they’re formatted? Your desired output can likely be achieved by using a Custom Equation Formula Property.
