I want to calculate current date with a date stored in another form which is populated based on dynamic drop-down.

 

I tried [date2]-[date1] and [date_calc id=x compare=y format=day], both of them works fine if the date is in regular date fields or text fields, but when I use any of them with date from dynamic field I got random numbers!

Dynamic fields store the entry id of the lookup record. When you display a value in a dynamic field, you have to use the show parameter. See this: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/dynamic-vs-lookup-fields/
