Default Is there a way to format a cell to show aging?

I am working on a financial spreadsheet and would like to have a column
showing how many days have passed after the date in another column. Is there
any way to do this?

In the cell where you want the number of days to be (we'll use A2 for this),
type in the following:
=TODAY()-A2
Format the cell as General and it will show you how many days.

For number of days, what would be the advantage of using DATEDIF instead of
just =TODAY()-A2 ?
