Hi everyone,
I have data for job postings and unfortunatley don't have anything that records status changes. This is a problem when measuring how long a job has been open for, as the client would like the "Days Open" column to pause it's count whenever a job is placed On-Hold.
In the example data below, lets say job 3 was placed On Hold on 05-Nov, I would then like the Days Open column to show 2 for this job, and then if it becomes Open again, for the count to continue on from 2. Is this possible? Thanks!
Job | Created Date | Filled Date | Status | Days Open |
1 | 01-Nov-23 | Open | 5 | |
2 | 02-Nov-23 | Open | 5 | |
3 | 03-Nov-23 | On-Hold | 5 | |
4 | 04-Nov-23 | 06-Nov-23 | Filled | 2 |
Hello, could you let me see the size you are using for opening days?
To get the data for Days Open it is just a DATDIFF between the Created Date and Today
If you add a column for date put on hold and a column for date re-opened you will be able to make this work.

Yeah it 100% would but that's just the thing, how can I get it to record any time there is a change in status?
You'll need those added in and populated at the source.

Not possible I'm afraid, the API used to collect this data is extremely limited and does not support timestamps on status changes.
