Hi!

Two formula questions - 

I have (4) different date fields with timestamps and need to identify the latest date across the four fields. When doing a Max value, it does not bring in the timestamp or makes it 12:00a as a standard. 

I also have (2) date fields that I need to calculate the datediff in hours and leaving the field blank if the second date field is empty instead of the NaN.

Please help! Thank you 🙂

Try these:

DATETIME_PARSE(
MAX(
IF(
{Date 1},
VALUE(
DATETIME_FORMAT(
{Date 1},
'x'
)
),
0
),
IF(
{Date 2},
VALUE(
DATETIME_FORMAT(
{Date 2},
'x'
)
),
0
),
IF(
{Date 3},
VALUE(
DATETIME_FORMAT(
{Date 3},
'x'
)
),
0
),
IF(
{Date 4},
VALUE(
DATETIME_FORMAT(
{Date 4},
'x'
)
),
0
)
),
'x'
)
IF(
AND(
{Date 1},
{Date 2}
),
DATETIME_DIFF(
{Date 2},
{Date 1},
'hours'
)
)

What issue are you facing with it?  If you could provide a read-only invite link to a duplicated copy of your base with some example data I could take a look at this for you!
