Apologies 🙂
I will take your point 🙂So this is what im trying to do.
I am trying to add 24 months to ORACLE_V3[g_ACTIVITY_DATE - Copy] field which will then write to the g_ACTIVITY_DATE_NextDue field ,
NOTE: only the row where the ORACLEV3_ROLE value is 'BA'
All the other rows the ORACLE_V3[g_ACTIVITY_DATE - Copy] field would only add on 12 months to g_ACTIVITY_DATE_NextDue field.I am using the following formula
g_ACTIVITY_DATE_NextDue = IF(ORACLE_V3[ROLE] = "BA", DATEADD(ORACLE_V3[g_ACTIVITY_DATE - Copy], 24,MONTH), DATEADD(ORACLE_V3[g_ACTIVITY_DATE - Copy], 12,MONTH))
here is the data/ expected outcomeORACLEV3_ROLE ORACLE_V3[g_ACTIVITY_DATE - Copy] g_ACTIVITY_DATE_NextDue
