Report the Actual Start and Actual Completion Days

Avatar

Level 3
Hello Workfront Community, I'm trying to capture how many days an Issue or Task is Actually taking. When creating a report I use the Age value and it displays the entire age from the Entry Date of the Issue or Task to Actual Completion Date. Does anyone know of a way or formula that can be used to calculate the days from the Actual Start Date to the Actual Completion Date in days? Thanks for your assistance Cliff De Jong @ IEHP

Ah, you're in luck. I just posted something similar. Use the DATEDIFF calc. DATEDIFF(date1, date2) Or WEEKDAYDIFF - WEEKDAYDIFF(date1, date2) Returns the number of weekdays between two dates

On the report create new column and switch it to Text Mode. And copy below: displayname= ENTER NAME FOR A COLUMN HERE textmode=true valueexpression=WEEKDAYDIFF({actualStartDate},{actualCompletionDate}) valueformat=customNumberAsString Dagmara Garwell BAKKAVOR LTD

It is not working for me. Does this formula need to be used on a specific object type report? Cliff De Jong @ IEHP

Hey Cliff, You'll need to use that in a blank column on a task or issue report. It should look like this: I used the exact same code as was pasted above. One thing you can consider once you get it working, is to add the word Days so it looks like this instead: Here's the expression I used: valueexpression=CONCAT(WEEKDAYDIFF({actualStartDate},{actualCompletionDate})," days") Hope this helps!
