Comparing dates in separate entities

Post by dhickey76 »

Sorry Sergey this will be the last one for a while :) Just really stuck on this and cant figure it out.

2 entities, 1 sub-entity

Entity A (parent)
- sub entity B (child)

Entity C (parent)

Sub-entity B and Entity C are related using a common field

"Order date" is in Entity A
"Arrival date" is in Entity C

I want to check the difference in weeks between the Order Date and the Arrival date

Code: Select all

({function}-[ID])/86400/7
But when I try to pull the date from C into a function using "SELECT" it only gives the value in the latest record. See testing field "arrival function value" in screenshot.

Is there another way of doing this?

Thanks!

Function SELECT will work on entity B to get parent A
You can't use it in entity C because A and C not related directly.
Looks like you have touse Myslq query field to get value from entity A
So query will be like this

Code: Select all

Select date from entity_A where id = (select parent_item_id from entity_B where id =[field_id_in_entity_C])
NOTE: this is just example. You have to use correct field and entity ID.
