Adding/subtracting dates
I am currently using a Date Operations and Calculation block in ETL to determine a "turnaround time" for maintenance orders, from initiation date to completion date. This works well via a Day of Year conversion and simple subtraction, however it's not the right solution since tickets that are open during a yearly rollover would be calculated as a negative value in the turnaround time.
Is there a more thorough way Domo handles subtracting dates?

Hi,
Have you tried using DATEDIFF in a BeastMode :
DATEDIFF (Completation_Date,Initiation_Date)
This will give you the difference in days between the two dates,
Hope this helps.

That datediff() function is pretty crummy. Other SQL flavors have a datediff() function with the ability to return any unit of time, not just 'day'. What if I want a difference in hours, minutes, seconds, etc.? Gotta do some silly calculation with the hour(), minute() functions...

Ha, just realized I can just subtract dates with '-' directly. Nevermind.
