Using Date Difference as part of Math calculaiton

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 302

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the number of days between two dates as part of a calculation.

 

The problem is that for the date difference calculation the variable needs to be a 'String' type, but to use the output within the math it needs to be a 'Integer' type.

 

Is there a way to convert the string variable to an integer please?

 

Thanks

 

Craig

    @Craig_Cowley Yes, you can use an expression. Wrap the string variable in an int() function. 

     

    Hope this helps!
