Looking for a formula re start / end dates

Hi,

I'm trying to work out a formula to calculate the vacant days on a given apartment. I have all the data I need (I think) in Qlikview - see table below:

UnitDescAptNoAptSeqAptSeq2TenNumTenStartDateTenStartDate1TenEndDateTenEndDate1Vacant Days
Apartment 1 101/1010 11013/09/20124116512/10/201341559
Apartment 1 101/1111 11113/10/20134156012/10/2014419240
Apartment 2 202/1212 21211/09/20124116329/08/201341515
Apartment 2 202/1313 21301/09/20134151831/08/2014418822
Apartment 3 303/1212 31201/07/20124109130/06/201341455
Apartment 3 303/1313 31301/07/20134145630/09/2013415470
Apartment 3 303/1414 31401/10/20134154830/09/2014419120
Apartment 4 404/1111 41131/08/20124115230/08/201341516
Apartment 4 404/1212 41231/08/20134151730/08/2014418810
Apartment 5 505/1313 51306/12/20124124905/12/201341613

Apartment 101006/1414101406/10/20124118805/10/201341552
Apartment 101006/1515101506/10/20134155305/10/2014419170
Apartment 121207/1111121109/09/20124116108/09/201341525
Apartment 121207/1212121209/09/20134152631/05/2014417900

So basically what I'm trying to do is get a formula that will take the end date of 1 tenant from the start date of the next tenant. For example above on line 3 a tenant has moved out on the 29/08/13 & the new tenant moves in on the 01/09/13 (see line 4) therefore the vacant days is 2 i.e. the 30/08 & 31/08. The above is just a sample of the data - this will be done for over 50 apartments over a range of time. The vacant days above were just calculated in excel not in Qlikview.

Anyone got any idea how to do this?

If you can upload sample file with only few data, better to answer, as from above script, it's difficult to work.

Manish,

See attached - appreciate the help.

The data should show the correct number of turnovers - i.e. tenants leaving or renewing. I have commented out what I tried to do based on your previous e-mails as it's not giving the correct results - obviously I'm doing something wrong.

This may be a better qvw file to use as it lets you see the other data I am importing - I have just commented all out to only load the data we are looking at.
