Hey all, I'm running Crystal 10 and am having a problem with creating a formula. The problem is probably simple for you guys, but my Crystal-Fu is weak.
 
This is what I got:
 
IF {WO.DateClosed} - {WO.DateCreated} <  (???) then true and
IF {WO.DateClosed} - {WO.DateCreated} >  (???) then false
 
In place of the ??? id like to have 24 hours so I can show anything that was completed within 24 hours of the creation date.
 
Make sense?
 
I can't seem to get anything to work, but I think its to do with the fact that I want to do greater than and less than with dates. Is this a no no?

if datediff("h",{WO.DateClosed},{WO.DateCreated})<24 then True else False
 
Your second portion is assumed as false because the only thing left is =>24 if the first part is not met.
Make sure you are handling =24 in the right place for your condition to be accurate based on what you want it to do. I assumed =24 should be false in the above

That got me pointed in the right direction! Only problem was that, for some reason, it returned everything as true.
 
Instead I just did a datediff to give me the hours, and then a seperate formula for the true false argument. It works!
 
thanks a bunch!

Now I have a new problem...
 
Is there any way to do a count my "true" returns but leave ALL the returns so I can also do a count of the total? I'm trying to get a percentage of true's.
 
Make sence?

Yup can do this two ways.
Use a running total as a Count of your true formula conditionally counted as field= true
Or
Make another formula the same as your true but change it to if then 1 else 0 and then insert a summary function on that as a SUM.
