Need Help fixing datediff. Seeing 'same day' and 'BLANK' data(for one of the day) as same results.

I'm creating a report for Trouble Tickets. I have 2 columns representing 'Date Created' and 'Date Completed'. The resulting Column('# of Days to Clear 2') from _datediff generates my results but I'm getting tickets closed on the same day and Tickets that do not have a value under 'Date completed' as 'remaining open'.  How do I get same-day closed tickets to be a part of the 'Cleared in 7 days or less' .

see below:

@Delguy87 Instead of DATEDIFF, use: 

( [Date Completed] - [Date Created] ) * 1.
 
Then check for >= 0 && <= 7
 
Those without a Date Completed will be negative

Thanks for the reply. you helped me to a solution.  this was what ended up working for me. For some reason, i was getting an error for ' >= 0 && <= 7'

 

 

 

# of Days to Clear 2 = var _diff = ([Date Completed]-[Date Created]*1)
return

Switch(True() ,

_diff <=-1, "Remaining Open",
_diff <=7, "Cleared in 7 days or less",
_diff <=30 , "  Cleared in 8 to 30 days",
_diff <=60 , " Cleared in 31 to 60 days",
_diff <=90, " Cleared in 61 to 90 days",
_diff <=120, " Cleared in 91 to 120 days",
_diff >120, "Cleared in 120 days or more"
--_diff =blank(), "remaining open"
)

_diff >120, "Cleared in 120 days or more"
--_diff =blank(), "remaining open"
)

@Delguy87 That was short-hand. The actual code would have been _diff >= 0 && _diff <= 7
