If Comparing Two Dates Satisfies Conditions

Summary

Compare two dates.

How to use

Specify A, B, and the comparison criteria. You can add or subtract days or months from B before comparing.

Parameters

For example, you can express a comparison such as A >= B + 1 month. If either A or B is empty, the condition is not met; no error occurs.

Date to compare (A)

Enter the date to compare. To use a field value, enter = followed by its field code, for example =Date_2. To use the current date, enter =today().

Condition

Select the comparison criteria. A is compared with B after any specified calculation. “Greater than” means that A is later than B.

Date to compare (B)

Enter the date to compare with A. Field values can be referenced in the same way as for A.

Value to add or subtract from B

Enter the number of days or months to add to or subtract from B before comparing it with A. Negative numbers are also allowed.

For example, to compare with B plus three months, select the corresponding calculation and enter 3. Entering -3 instead gives three months before B.

Leave this blank to compare B without a calculation. This value is ignored when the calculation is set to “Do not calculate”.

Calculated Content

Select the calculation to apply to B, including the unit (days or months).

Notes

Dates are interpreted in the logged-in user’s time zone. The time portion is ignored. For example, 2018-11-10 12:00 and 2018-11-10 11:00 are treated as the same date.
