Hello,


What would be the easiest way to configure a formula that combines all of these?




  • IF({Request Type}=‘New’, DATETIME_DIFF({DCML Issue Date Lookup},RequestDate,‘days’)




  • IF({Request Type}=‘Major Update (Procedure Change)’, DATETIME_DIFF({DCML Rev Date Lookup},RequestDate,‘days’)




  • IF({Request Type}=‘Minor Update (Formatting, Spelling, Grammar, etc.)’,DATETIME_DIFF({DCML NCC Date},RequestDate,‘days’)




  • IF({Status}=‘Incomplete / Closed’, DATETIME_DIFF({Status Last Modified Date},RequestDate,‘days’)




I tried a formula that combined the first two, and the system accepts it, but it doesn’t return anything.


Thanks 🙂

I would use a combination of SWITCH() and IF() statements for this:


SWITCH(

   {Request Type},

   "New", IF(

      AND({DCML Issue Date Lookup}, {RequestDate}), 

      DATETIME_DIFF({DCML Issue Date Lookup}, {RequestDate}, "days")

   ),

   "Major Update (Procedure Change)", IF(

      AND({DCML Rev Date Lookup}, {RequestDate}), 

      DATETIME_DIFF({DCML Rev Date Lookup}, {RequestDate}, "days")

   ),

   "Minor Update (Formatting, Spelling, Grammar, etc.)", IF(

      AND({DCML NCC Date}, {RequestDate}), 

      DATETIME_DIFF({DCML NCC Date}, {RequestDate}, "days")

   ),

   "Incomplete / Closed", IF(

      AND({Status Last Modified Date}, {RequestDate}), 

      DATETIME_DIFF({Status Last Modified Date}, {RequestDate}, "days")

   )

)

The above formula will test the {Request Type} and depending on its value output the relevant difference between two dates only if both those date fields have a value.

This is great, thank you!
