time characteristic formula

[Former Member]

Hi gurus...i was wondering if it is possible to calculate periods of time between 2 time characteristics, i mean to create a formula or a calculated key figure based on that two time characteristics.

Example:

i have ztime1 and ztime2 each one with specific dates and what i want to do is to do a formula like:

ztime2-ztime1 = x days

is it possible to do it at the BEx?

Thanks

You can try this -

Create formula variables of replacement path type (replaced by key value of respective date chars).

Now create a formula with these (with the function that treats these as dates, so you get the right calculation), and finally apply a NODIM if needed.
