Trying to Build a 'Days Past Due' Calculated Expression in Reports

Avatar

Level 1
I want to create a recurring dashboard report which goes out to stakeholders showing two reports. One will show all action items, who is assigned, due dates, etc. For the second report I wanted it to only show past due items. Where I am getting tripped up is a calculated expression field which shows days past due. Once I have that field working, I can set up the report appropriately. I feel like I have it set up right but it will not show any results so something is definitely wrong. I have created other calculated fields that work just fine but I think the difference with this one is that I am using a dynamic value (Today's date) as part as the formula. I'm wondering if that is the issue. Below is the formula I am using. I'm basically trying to measure the days between today's date and the planned completion date. Just a note, 'Days past due' is my own custom label for the planned completion date field you see circled below. Also, I did check text mode first to make sure I was using the correct text for planned completion date. Initially, I added rounding to the formula but took that out thinking maybe it was causing an issue. I thought this was about as basic as it gets but it is still not producing a result. I would expect to see 1 day here considering the due date was 8/19 and today is 8/20. displayname=Days Past Due textmode=true valueexpression=DATEDIFF({$$TODAY},{plannedCompletionDate}) valueformat=HTML Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

Take the brackets away around $$TODAY and that should do it. valueexpression=DATEDIFF($$TODAY,{plannedCompletionDate}) Terry Hynd EBSCO Information Services
