I think there is a problem in field type in Days because the default is a string so days have a string value, you are multiplying string with an integer in the computed field.
# 1 db.define_table('ClientDetails', Field('CheckIn', 'date', label=SPAN('Check-In Date', _style="font-weight: bold;")), Field('CheckOut', 'date', label=SPAN('Check-Out Date', _style="font-weight: bold;")), Field('Days', compute=lambda r: (r['CheckOut']-r['CheckIn' ]).days), Field('Amount', compute=lambda r: int(r['Days'])*int(r[ 'Number_of_Guests'])*650)) # 2 db.define_table('ClientDetails', Field('CheckIn', 'date', label=SPAN('Check-In Date', _style="font-weight: bold;")), Field('CheckOut', 'date', label=SPAN('Check-Out Date', _style="font-weight: bold;")), Field('Days', compute=lambda r: (r['CheckOut']-r['CheckIn' ]).days), Field('Amount', compute=lambda r: ((r['CheckOut']-r[ 'CheckIn']).days)*int(r['Number_of_Guests'])*650)) Let me know this will work for you.
