Hi guys,

 

I have a database of online orders, i need to flag id_clients that have the same product ordered in less than 2 days a part.

 

Input:

Client_IDProductOrder_date

1

apple29/04/2024
1banana25/04/2024
1apple27/04/2024

 

 

Expected output: 

 

Client_IDProductOrder_dateFlag

1

apple29/04/2024

1

1banana25/04/20240
1apple27/04/20240

 

How can i make this flag column?

Hey @VitorCM ! I think you could use the DateTimeDiff formula to calculate date differences, grouped by product, and flag when it meets you're criteria through a second formula tool (i.e. difference <= 2 is "Flag") -- just make sure your date field reads as a date before running the calculation!
