Power Up Module 2 - Video 11 - Create Maintenance Logs Table

Posted on by CU15080503-1 2
I am having trouble with the DateDiff formula "DateDiff('Date Observed',Now(),TimeUnit.Days)" where it doesn't seem to work when applying the formula to 'Reporting Days' Fx column. However, the same formula seems to work in the column 'Issue Age' column.

QuickFix - Altering the formula to DateDiff('Date Observed',UTCNow(),TimeUnit.Days) seems to work in the 'Reporting Days'!  Any reasons why?

    Hi
     
    1. You haven't shown us the data, so we have NO idea if its really a date or just a string
    2. please shre the ERROR, not just the red underline
     
    once we see the error we can help you easy enough.
     
    I don't believe you can use Now() in the formula either.
    I thought you can use utcNow() though.

    please share the error for me to verify.
