How to show date difference in record type based on condition

In Appian, you can just subtract the two date values and get a time interval in return.

Hi Stefan, 

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any way I can achieve this?. I just wanted to show from how many days, a case has been opened (called it as "Days Open"). 

If not as a integer value, then I am okay with time interval. But how can I show the color on certain conditions (like only when the case is not completed).

Thank you

With "Days Open", do you mean calendar days or working days? There is the function networkdays that would return the working days.

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.4/Function_Recipes.html#display-the-number-of-days-before-a-specific-date

You can turn an interval into the number of days using tointeger().

Then you can use a richtextdisplayfield and some conditions (if() or match()) to show/hide and color the values in any way you want/need to.

for color handling ->

a!localVariables(
  local!data: {
    a!map(id: 1, date: todate("1/02/2024")),
    a!map(id: 2, date: todate("1/12/2024")),
    a!map(id: 3, date: todate("1/17/2024"))
  },
  {
    a!richTextDisplayField(labelPosition: "COLLAPSED", value: {
      a!forEach(
        items: local!data,
        expression: a!richTextItem(
        text: {concat(tointeger(today()-fv!item.date)," Days left"),char(10)},
        color: if(
          tointeger(today()-fv!item.date)<=3,
          "POSITIVE",
          if(
            tointeger(today()-fv!item.date)<=15,
            "STANDARD",
            "NEGATIVE"
          )
        )
      ))
    })
  }
)

Hi Amaan,

Thank you for providing your insights. 

I have modified the code little bit and now it is giving me the desired result.

a!localVariables(
  local!values: {if(
    tointeger(rf!riskAssessmentStatus.id)<5,
    tointeger(today()-rf!createdOn),"NA"
  )},
  {
    a!forEach(
      items: local!values,
      expression: a!richTextItem(
        text: fv!item,
        color: if(
          fv!item = "NA","STANDARD",
          if(
            fv!item >= 6, "NEGATIVE",
            if(
              fv!item <= 3, "POSITIVE","#FFFF00"
            )
          )
        )
      )
    )
  }
)

glad to here that
