Create a custom column on Platform Analytics to calculate the days difference from two date

[davideluvotto]

Hi all,

Is there anyone who can suggest a method to add a custom column in Platform Analytics that calculates the difference between two dates?

For example, the difference in days between the opened date and the closed date of an Incident.

Thanks,

Hi,

A while back I made a tool to calculate the difference between two dates with Flow Designer.

Perhaps you can use it to set the value of a custom field in your table.

Ffor instance when an Incident is closed, the value would be set,

and then you can perform the reporting directly on that field.

Hi OlaN, I don’t want to create a custom field on the table, but I would like to have a formula field within Platform Analytics.

Do you know any method to do this?

Thanks,

Sorry, no. As per my understanding, this is not possible unless you have a field that calculates and stores the values for you. Platform analytics can then present the data in various ways for you.

I might be mistaken, I haven't dived that deep into Platform analytics yet.
