Help with Calculated Fieds Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi,

I need to create a calculated field but am stuck! I hope it's pretty easy to achieve and i'm prepared to feel small if someone can help me.

I have 2 datetime edit fields - 'start date' and 'end date'. I need to create a 'duration' value that will display the number of days between the end and the start. I tried creating a calculated field using the following formula:

'LOGITECHTICKETEXT.End Date'-'LOGITECHTICKETEXT.Start Date'

However, this does not return a value that is a number of days. Instead, it returns, a value of '08/01/1900'

Can anyone help me?

If you are using SQL Server the something like

DateDiff(d,EndDate,StartDate)

Rather than drag/dropping a field - just type the above in the calculation area.

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for the reply. I'll try and get round to working on my little project today and integrate your suggestion :o)

Hi Mike,

I just got round to trying to create this field. However, i'm a little confused about:

"Rather than drag/dropping a field - just type the above in the calculation area."

What exactly do you mean by this? What calculation area?

Darren

Ordinarily, you would drag down the fields you need. However, you can just type into the box as well (that's what you need to do)
