Date Comparisons

Hi,

I would like to create an Alteryx module to identify how many days since last login. For example, if a user logs in on 1st January 2016, I would like to create a manipulated date of 1st January 2015 to get the figure of 365 days.

Currently doing this in Excel through the following formula: =IFERROR(DATE(2015,1,1)-DATEVALUE(TEXT(R3544,"dd/mm/yyyy")),"")

Hope this makes sense and would really appreciate any feedback

Thanks

Hi nervo,

Indeed. See below picture for an example. The text input could be replaced by an Excel or Database, wherever you store your data.

Hi Nervo,

I'm trying to understand your question.

Do you simply want the days since last login (i.e. if your last login is January 1st 2016, you could add a formula that specifies "DateTimeDiff(DateTimeToday(),login_date,'days')" ). This would return the number of days since last login relative to today.

Correct, but I would also like to manipulate today's date to my own preset date.

So for example, rather than using today's date (3rd February), I may want to define today's date as 1st February which you can do in Excel using the =DATE function

Thank you.
