Calculating time difference in Formula language or LotusScript
I need to calculate the time difference between two dates in Formula language or LotusScript and then return the result in the format of "x months and y days." Do you know of any scripts or @Formulas that can do this?
I used a formula to calculate the difference. This does not include code for leap year and assumes that date1, the first date, is always earlier than date2. Here's the formula for a text field.
year1 := @IF(date1=""; 0; @Year(date1)); year2 := @IF(date2=""; 0; @Year(date2)); month1:= @IF(date1=""; 0; @Month(date1)); month2:= @IF(date2=""; 0; @Month(date2)); day1 := @IF(date1=""; 0; @day(date1)); day2 := @IF(date2=""; 0; @day(date2)); daysinmonth := @IF(date1=""; 0; @Select(month1;31;28;31;30;31; 30;31;31;30;31;30;31)); tempmonth:=@IF (year1=year2; month2 - month1; ((year2-year1)*12) + month2 - month1); months:=@IF(day2<day1; tempmonth - 1; tempmonth); days:=@IF(day1<=day2; day2 - day1; daysinmonth + day2 - day1); "sample: " + @text(months) + " months and " + @Text(days) + " days."
