: Databehandling (elektronisk databehanding, EDB) is the oldest term. If you look at IATE (as suggested by Lise), you will see that the translation of "computing" depends on the context.

Comment: "Hej Lise,
Som Dian Kjærgaard siger, Databehandling er det ældste udtryk, men jeg synes "computering" passer bedst i indholdet!
Mange tak"

Jeg fand et par dokumenter hos google med "komputering" og sendte dem først - men da det ikker er ord der bruges meget, hvor computerberegning bruges mere, slettede jeg mit svar og sender dette i stedet for.

Discussion
Back to "computing".
When I first came to Denmark in 1978, computers were often called "datamater" or "datamaskiner" - now they are called computeres. Computing was "(elektronisk) databehandling" - EDB.
Gradually IT, or it, (informationteknologi) has replaced EDB in most everyday contexts, but not always in special phrases such as "medicinsk databehandling".
I have often heard "computering" / "komputering" used, mostly in jest - but I never saw the term in print until I followed up Blangsted's reference. There are a lot more Google hits for "computering" than there are for "komputering". I'll bet that "computering" will become an accepted translation of "computing" before very long.
