Something like this?

Hi @Ekta ,

 

first step is to convert the dates to the Alteryx Date data type using a DateTimeParse function for both columns (called them "Start" and "End")
DateTimeParse([Start],'%d/%m/%Y')
DateTimeParse([End],'%d/%m/%Y')

The Data Type should be "Date" for both new columns, call them e.g. "StartDate" and "EndDate"

 

In a second step, you can dcalculate the difference using DateTimeDiff function:
DateTimeDiff([EndDate], [StartDate], 'days').

 

I've attached a sample workflow. Let me know if it works for you.

 

Best, 

 

Roland

Okay ... didn't read carefully. 

 

I think, an additional condition could solve the problem. Check, if "EndDate" is in 2019, else replace it by the last day of 2019.

 

I've modified the workflow a bit. What do you think?
