Difference between Dates

Anudeep_Yalamuru

Hi All,

 

I have a dataset (sample at the bottom) containing different dates for each ID. I want to calculate difference between each date in Date column for a ID.

 

Ex - For ID "A", I want to calculate difference between date 1 and date 2 and date 2 and date 3. 

 

I know how to do it in Excel, but the dataset is huge. Please provide your valuable inputs. 

 

Thanks,

Anudeep

Use multirow formula

Hi @Anudeep_Yalamuru , this should do the trick

Multi-row formula grouped by your ID should work.

 

I use datetime diff taking the prior row date away from the current row date and returning the number of days.

This ensures a reset each ID

Hence the first row of each record is null.

 

Note. Make sure your dates are the date data format to compute a datetimediff
