How can a report show the number of weeks until an employee's laptop replacement date?

To determine the number of weeks until an employee's laptop replacement date, the approach that involves creating a column specifically labeled "Weeks Until Replacement" with a function is effective because it directly calculates the difference between the current date and the replacement date.

Using a function allows for dynamic calculation based on the current date, meaning that it will continuously provide an accurate count of how many weeks are left until the replacement date without requiring manual updates. This is essential for effective reporting as it automates the process and ensures the information is always up to date for decision-making.

The other options may not sufficiently leverage the dynamic nature of date calculations or the necessity of direct correlation to the replacement date, which may lead to incorrect interpretations or manual errors in tracking the timeline for replacements.
