Using two conditionals in expression

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Hello

I use QV as a final user so I am not skilled in programming and how QV works, special in Set Analysis

I need to get the subtract of two dates: Date Received - Purchase Date in order to calculate the Days Passed. If the Date Received is blank, the operation must be the Actual Date (Today) - Purchase Date.

Thank you very much

if(isNull([Date Received]), Today() - [Purchase Date], [Date Received] - [Purchase Date])

You could user the alt() function like this:

Alt([Date Received], Today()) - [Purchase Date]

Try this too

If(Interval([Date Received]-[Purchase Date],'d') > '0', Date(Interval([Date Received]-[Purchase Date]),'DD/MM/YYYY'), Date(Interval(Today()-[Purchase Date]),'DD/MM/YYYY'))

If([Date Received] = ' ', Date(Interval(Today()-[Purchase Date]),'DD/MM/YYYY'), Date(Interval([Date Received]-[Purchase Date]),'DD/MM/YYYY'))

Thank you Anil Babu.

The result of your expression is a date format 'DD/MM/YYYY' and I need it in day numbers.

The expressions provided by Marcio Arruda and Vegar Lie Arntsen are working the way I need

Thanks to all of you

You can use networkdays with two date fields. And you want to calculate all days right if so use

Networkdays(date1, date2)
