Hello everyone,
I have a rather basic question, since I am new to plotly dash, and to python in general.
I would like to make some operations between dates collected from a date-picker-range object. I would like to have the number of days between the start and end date.
Please ignore the imported and unused library (since I just copied part of my code here) and the useless objects.
The code below runs, and shows the objects, but the callback doesn’t change anything. And I know it is because that is not the right way to compute the difference between the 2 days from and datepickerrange.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you all.
