Compare dates and mark Late

[#1]

Hi, I wonder if you could help.

I have two dates in my qlikview app a Collection date and Delivery date I can work out the numbers of days between these by doing a : expression like so: =dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(timestamp(CollDate))

however I want to compare the date with a service level if the service level is EC and the Date is over 3 days mark it as late if its 3 days mark it as Ontime and if its earlier than 3 Mark it Early

Then I would like to do the same with  a Different Service but different parameters and display this on a graph showing what's on time and what's late and what's early

what's the best way of doing this? does anyone have any examples?

thanks in advance

  Try this in you script or object expression:

=

if(Service= 'A',
(if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(Deldatetimestamp(CollDate))=3, 'On time',
if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(Deldatetimestamp(CollDate))<3, 'Early',
if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(Deldatetimestamp(CollDate))>3, 'Late')))),
Service= 'B',
(if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(Deldatetimestamp(CollDate))=3, 'On time',
if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(Deldatetimestamp(CollDate))<3, 'Early',
if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(Deldatetimestamp(CollDate))>3, 'Late'))))
)

Hi Richard,

I seem to be getting an error with the above so I changed it to: = if(Service= 'EC', (if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(timestamp(CollDate))=3, 'On time', if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(timestamp(CollDate))3, 'Late')))), Service= 'SD', (if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(timestamp(CollDate))=1, 'On time', if(dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(timestamp(CollDate))1, 'Late')))) ) but then I just get a - in the table even though it says the expression is correct?

Hi Jason,

Try like this

LOAD

*,

If(DaysDifference = 3, 'On time', If(DaysDifference > 3, 'Late', If(DaysDifference < 3, 'Early', 'N/A') AS Status;

LOAD

*,

dayStart(Deldate) - DayStart(timestamp(CollDate)) AS DaysDifference

FROM DataSource;

Regards,

Jagan.

Ofcourse you should also replace the term "Service" by you own field that contains the kind of service to check,
