Tableau formula to alterxy formula

Hi,

I am new to alteryx and I will appreciate any help offered.

I have a formula in tableau that I want to translate into Alteryx. Please see below. Is it possible to duplicate this formula in Alteryx or is there a shortcut to this? My output goal is to calculate days remaining until due date

if (field1) = 'Data pass' and (field 2) = 'Data fail'

then

(if 730-DATEDIFF ('day',(field 3- state change date), [as of date])

< 0 then 365- DATEDIFF ('day', (field 3- state change date), [as of date])

else 365- DATEDIFF ('day', (field 3- state change date), [as of date]) end)

elseif (field1) <> 'Data pass' and (field2) = 'Data fail' then

(if 730-DATEDIFF('day', (field 3- state change date), [as of date]) < 0

then 730-DATEDIFF('day', (field 3- state change date), [as of date])

else 730-DATEDIFF('day', (field 3- state change date), [as of date])

END)

END

Thank you in advance!

*as of date is a parameter in tableau

Hi @b777

I have uploaded a sample WF that I believe achieves the output you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

Hi @b777

Here is a Tableau Function Translation Guide.

Depending on what kind of data format we are working with, I have provided a sample WF with 2 approaches depending on date formats to achieve the number of days between a certain date and the due date.

DateTimeToday() - expression will provide today's date inside a column which can be used to calculate days to due date if needed.

Thank you Panpp for your response. Question - how do I incorporate IF statement to the solution you provided? Tableau formula has an IF statement in it.

Hi @b777

It's a similar concept to the conditional statement you used. It would be easier for me to understand if you provide Input data and what your output data should look like.

In Alteryx:

- IF c THEN t ELSE f ENDIF (includes ELSEIF)

- DateTimeDiff(datetime1, datetime2, units)

In Tableau:

- IF c THEN t ELSE f END (includes ELSEIF)

- DATEDIFF(date_part, date1, date2, [start_of_week])

Below are more functions you can view as a reference guide.

Hi @PanPP ,

please see my input data and my output data. Output data should be "Days to Due date"

Input data:

if field 1 is = Data pass and field 2 is data fail, I want to add 12 months or 365 days to "change of state" date to calculate due date and then subtract "current date" to populate "days to due date"
if field 1 is not equal to Data pass and field 2 is still data fail, I want to add 24 months or 730 days to "change of state" date to calculate due date and then subtract "current date" to populate "days to due date"

	field 1	field 2	change of state	Due Date	Current Date	Days to Due Date
1	Data pass	data fail	12/1/2022	12/1/2023	12/13/2022	353
2	Enhancing	data fail	11/30/2022	11/30/2024	12/13/2022	718
3	Enhancing	data fail	11/28/2022	11/28/2024	12/13/2022	716
4	Enhancing	data fail	11/28/2022	11/28/2024	12/13/2022	716
5	Data pass	data fail	11/18/2022	11/18/2023	12/13/2022	340
6	Data pass	data fail	11/18/2022	11/18/2023	12/13/2022	340
7	Data pass	data fail	11/18/2022	11/18/2023	12/13/2022	340
8	Data pass	data fail	11/14/2022	11/14/2023	12/13/2022	336
9	Data pass	data fail	11/14/2022	11/14/2023	12/13/2022	336

My end goal is to calculate days going up to due date and days past due date from current date.

Thanks in advance
