Calculate Difference Between Dates

LP27 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 03:59:08 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I want to figure out a way to calculate difference between dates columns below.

Here is my Data set below-

Number Id	Loop Number:	FOT Date	Loop Date	Status
160030-0006	TL1	7/26/2019	8/16/2019	Open
160030-0006	TL2	9/16/2019	10/16/2019	Open
160030-0006	TL3	10/26/2019	11/25/2019	Open
160030-0006	TL4	12/5/2019	1/4/2020	Closed
206699-4001	TL1	1/14/2020	2/13/2020	Open
206699-4001	TL2	2/15/2020	2/16/2020	Open
206699-4001	TL3	2/20/2020	2/22/2020	Closed

I want to calculate No of days between Loop Date and FOT Date for each Number Id when there Status are Open only.

Example: For a Number Id below, TL1 is the first loop so Count of Days will be dash, For TL2: the count of days is calculated by the logic

TL2= Loop Date of (TL1) - FOT Date of (TL2)

TL3=Loop date of(TL2) - FOT Date of (TL2)

Number Id	Loop Number:	FOT Date	Loop Date	Status	Count of Days
206699-4001	TL1	1/14/2020	2/13/2020	Open	-
206699-4001	TL2	2/15/2020	2/16/2020	Open	2
206699-4001	TL3	2/20/2020	2/22/2020	Closed	4

I need the count of days like these:-

TL1

2 Days Difference

TL2

4 days Difference

TL3

Note :

For each Number ID, there will be Loop number from TL1 to TL5 some times it can extend till TL10 too.
I might also view this in a stacked Bar chart for visualization.

Not sure how to proceed !

Please let me know if you have question.

Thanks in advance

Load your raw data into a table, for example named "Data". Then update the resident table like this:

Left Join(Data)
LOAD
[Number Id],
[Loop Number:],
if([Number Id] = Previous([Number Id]),
[FOT Date] - Previous([Loop Date]),
'-') as Duration
Resident Data
Order By [Number Id], [Loop Number:];

Thanks Rob !

But I tried the same scripts which you shared, its not working properly.

kindly see the output below -

Number ID	Loop Number:	FOT Date	Loop Date	Status	Duration
160030-0006	TL1	7/26/2019	8/16/2019	Open	21
160030-0006	TL2	9/16/2019	10/16/2019	Open	30
160030-0006	TL3	10/26/2019	11/25/2019	Open	30 10
160030-0006	TL4	12/5/2019	1/4/2020	Closed	30 10
206699-4001	TL1	1/14/2020	2/13/2020	Open	30
206699-4001	TL2	1/30/2019	3/11/2019	Open	-
206699-4001	TL3	2/25/2019	2/28/2019	Closed	-
348167004	TL1	1/18/2019	2/7/2019	Open	-
348167004	TL2	2/14/2019	2/17/2019	Open	-
348167005	TL3	2/20/2019	2/23/2019	Open	-
348167006	TL4	3/5/2019	3/8/2019	Closed	-

There are dashes in last 6 rows of Duration's Column and for the number id = 160030-0006 in above table, In loop number TL3, it should display Loop date(TL2) 10/16/2019 - FOT date (TL3) 10/26/2019 = 10 days

logic for duration should be Loop Date(T1) - FOT Date(T2) ...so on!

Also for the first appearance of Number ID it should be empty or dash.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Thanks Rob!

Can you please post your script?
