Add +1 to the DateDiff result formula

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by EBMRay 873

Hello,

I have two date fields start and end date in a form. I would like to calculate the difference between those dates which can be achieved using the below formula:

DIFFINDAYS(cr1b0_startdate, cr1b0_enddate)

Example: Start Date: 5/11/2022 - End Date: 5/23/2022
Total: 12 Days

According to the above formula, the result is 12 days, however, in our requirements, we need to add and wrap the formula with a +1 as a result because the real total should be 13 days.

What should be the updated formula to add +1 to DIFFINDAYS(cr1b0_startdate, cr1b0_enddate)?

Could you please provide an example to achieve the above requirements?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Best regards,
EBMRay

    Hi EBMRay,

    Calculated field can't do this. You should use JS.

    Hi ,

    Thank you so much for providing the above example, it worked perfectly.

    Will it be possible to exclude weekends and public holidays through the calculated fields or this is something that should be done in JS?

    Awaiting your response.

    Hi EBMRay,

    DIFFINDAYS() need two date and time value as parameter and return type is whole number. ADDDAYS() first parameter is whole number type, second is date and time type and return type is date and time.

    The reason you get this error is because you pass two whole number as parameter to ADDDAYS(). So you can first add 1 day to end date and then use DIFFINDAYS().

    Please try this expression:

    DiffInDays(cr884_startdate, AddDays(1, cr884_enddate))
