Datediff for same dates.

How do we tackle this issue... datediff calculate 0 where both dates are same. 

 

Date StartDate End
11 October 202111 October 2021

 

DATEDIFF([DATE START], [DATE END], DAY)

Result "0"

    Your welcome, I mean you can try something like this instead

     

    If (startday=enddate), 1 , DATEDIFF([DATE START], [DATE END], DAY))

    mohammadyousaf what value do you expect? Since its the same day there is no difference in value. If you want that same day displayed as one than try: 

    if (DATEDIFF([DATE START], [DATE END], DAY))= 0, 1, DATEDIFF([DATE START], [DATE END], DAY))

     

    Hope that helps. 

    Best.

      Thank you, I guess IF workaround should be ok, let me try it.

       

      In our line of business... it is calculated as working day regardless of working hours. 

      I am trying to find a way where one day is included in the calculations of two dates... even if dates are apart, I miss the first day as working day
