Dates comparison in sap analytics cloud

Posted on Oct 18, 2019 at 01:51 PM 167 Views

Friends

I am trying to compare 2 date dimensions to see the result value as "boolean" say True or False.

Context: say we have 2 date dimensions

1)Adate(MM-DD-YYYY)

2)Bdate(MM-DD-YYYY)

---------------------------------

Calculation/Comparision needed : If(Adate<=Bdate,"A" elsif Adate>Bdate then "B" else "NA")

Could you share your experiences...

Thanks-Bose

    Hi Bose,

    You could try something like this:

    IF([Adate] <= [Bdate], 'A', IF([Adate] > [Bdate], 'B', 'NA' ) )

    SAP Analytics Cloud supports creating nested IF statements.

    In the screenshot, I have used a date field (which is actually a hierarchy) and selected day. But the logic is the same.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Bose,

    I created the example with the BestRun_Demo model. Can you compare the setup of the hierarchy in that model compared to your own to detect any differences?

    Kind regards,
