need to calculate date difference in hours based on text condition

Hi,

 

I have a column "Mode" which has multiple values; A, B, C & D. I need to calculate date difference in days, as per below condition:

 

If Mode = "A" or "B" , calculate ([Date1] - [Date2]), else

If Mode = "C" or "D" calculate ([Date3] - [Date4])

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

Muralidhar

Add the following as a column,

New Column = 

IF ( [Mode] = "A" || [Mode] = "B", DATEDIFF([Date1] , [Date2],DAY), IF( [Mode] = "C" || [Mode] = "D",DATEDIFF([Date3] , [Date4],DAY)))
