Hi All,

I am trying to do the following beast mode operation:


COUNT(DISTINCT (CASE when `ord_date` < CURDATE()-1 then CONCAT(`sales_no`,`part_no`) end ))

The expectation is the distinct combination of sales_no and part_no ..But I am not getting that..Can you please help me here..



Thanks,

Arun

    I only just started using Domo not too long ago, but I have worked with dates before. Have you tried using ADDATE(ord_date, interval -1 day) instead of CURDATE() - 1. If my understanding is correct, if you use a negative number this function will subtract that number from the date field given.

    It would look like this:

    COUNT(DISTINCT (CASE when `ord_date` < ADDATE(CURDATE(), interval -1 day) then CONCAT(`sales_no`,`part_no`) end ))

    @ozarkram it would be helpful if you provided an example of your dataset and the output you are getting from your beast mode, as well as what you are expecting to see.
