Configure function field to get date difference

[Community Alums]

I used configure function field to do that, can anyone help me to do the calculation to get the value.

Hi @Community Alums 

You need to use 2 date

https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/zurich-now-intelligence/page/use/reporting/concept/function-f...

datediff()

Takes two date/time fields as input, calculates the difference between the dates in days, minutes, and seconds, and returns the results as a duration field value.

glidefunction:datediff(closed_at, sys_created_on) Returns the duration of an incident from the creation date to the close date. Example result: 10 days, 8 hours 23 minutes 11 seconds Return type: Duration

@Community Alums 

this is feasible but there is a challenge when you use now() there

I shared a workaround for this and it has a working solution

Function field to calculate Ageing in Report Designer 

sharing here again

As per the link I shared it says invalid syntax, but there is a workaround for that

It worked fine for me see below when I used that workaround

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar ,

Can I get your help? I have a similar requirement for using a function in reports.

I have a string field where agent enters a number like 1, 5, 8, 50, 120..... anything

Now, I want to show Row Column report, where Row would be the state and column would be like

First Column(1-10) [Records having value from 1 to 10), Second Column(11-20) [Records having value from 11 to 20] and so on....


I have tried dividing the value by 10, and multiplying again. But, somehow it's not working.

Regards,
Najmuddin
