IF Statement Amendment

Hi, I would like to add another condition to this IF Statement that says if the Created On date = Resolution Date then DAY+1 At the moment the Code is saying that when these dayes are the same ...

    Hi ArchStanton , try this formula.
    Logic Used:
    When the Created On equals the Resolution Date , return 1 day;
    otherwise for resolved cases return an inclusive day count (DATEDIFF + 1).
    For active cases the existing behaviour is preserved (you can switch to inclusive there too if you prefer).

    Case Length =
    VAR StartDate =
        IF(
            ISBLANK( 'Cases'[legacycasecreationdate] ),
            'Cases'[Created On],
            'Cases'[legacycasecreationdate]
        )
    VAR IsActive = 'Cases'[statecode] = "Active"
    VAR ResDate = 'Cases'[Resolution Date]
    RETURN
    IF(
        IsActive,
        -- Active: difference between StartDate and now (unchanged behaviour)
        DATEDIFF( StartDate, NOW(), DAY ),
        -- Resolved: handle blanks, same-day, otherwise inclusive DATEDIFF (+1)
        IF(
            ISBLANK( ResDate ),
            BLANK(),
            IF(
                DATEVALUE( StartDate ) = DATEVALUE( ResDate ),
                1,                                          -- same calendar day => 1
                DATEDIFF( StartDate, ResDate, DAY ) + 1    -- inclusive count
            )
        )
    )

    Notes / rationale

    • DATEVALUE(...) is used when comparing StartDate and ResDate so time components don’t make two same-day timestamps look different.

    • DATEDIFF(...)+1 gives an inclusive day count (e.g., start = 1-Jan, end = 2-Jan → 2 days).

    • If you want inclusive logic for active cases too, change the active branch to DATEDIFF( StartDate, NOW(), DAY ) + 1.

    • If you prefer to always return 0 rather than BLANK() for missing Resolution Date, replace BLANK() with 0.
