IterNo

Hello , i am trying to calculate the RPD  and to do that i need to sum the days and group them by month , 

to do this i create a table with the code below : 

date([DATE START]+IterNo()-1) as Date ,
year([DATE START]+IterNo()-1) as Year ,

date(monthstart([DATE START]+IterNo()-1),'MMM') as Month

resident Table_1
while [DATE START]+IterNo()-1<=[DATE END];

 

then I sum distinct DATE and group it by month and year, but i don't get the right  number of days 

here is a sample of results i get (column DAYS) and in column DURATION I've calculated : interval(DATE END - DATE START) wich is the right number of days that i need

Your code is fine - your comparison isn't valid.

There are 28 days in the range starting with April 21st and ending with May 18th, inclusive (including parts of the 21st and parts of the 18th given the timestamp). 

However, subtracting one from the other will result in 27.

In my case it's  the 27 days wich is correct because i don't want to calculate days according to Dates like it does : 

06/08/2021 10:29 =Day1

07/08/2021 10:29 = Day2 ...  ==> so i have 2 Days 

what i need is : from 06/08/2021 10:29 to 07/08/2021 10:29 = one Day  

in oder way after each 24 hours it calculate a day

If you're counting distinct(date), you'll get 28, as there are 28 distinct dates...

You can look at using DayName() - https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/May2021/Subsystems/Client/Content/QV_QlikView/Scripting/DateAnd... - for an offset to when the day starts, but since your day doesn't seem to start and end at a consistent time I'm not sure if that'll work here.
