select contractnbr,affcontractnbr,tdd,affrtramount,affturn,
pt=datediff(d,afffirstfundingdate,affRTRBalanceZeroDate),ratio=datediff(d,afffirstfundingdate,affRTRBalanceZeroDate)/afftrun
from #targetfinishedaff

datediff(d,afffirstfundingdate,affRTRBalanceZeroDate) appears two times in this code, Is there a way to make it appear only once?
Thx

You could turn it into a function or use a derived table, but that would just complicate things.
