Calculate the difference between two timelines with General Caster

Hey!

I’m looking to use the integration with General Caster to perform calculations on Timeline columns.

I have two Timeline columns where I want to perform calculations: “Estimate Timeline” and “Timeline”. I have two Numbers columns where I want to write the results: “Launch Date Variation” and “Deadline Variation”.

My goal is as follows: I want to calculate the difference (in days) between the estimated Launch Day (in “Estimate Timeline”) and the actual Launch Day (in “Timeline”). I want to do the same thing for the Deadline.

I tried using this formula to calculate the difference between the two Launch Day dates:

DAYS(LEFT{Campaign's Est. Timeline},LEFT{Campaign's Timeline})

And I used this formula for the two deadlines:

DAYS(RIGHT{Campaign's Est. Timeline},RIGHT{Campaign's Timeline})

However, it doesn’t work; nothing appears. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance,

Léandre

Hi @Leandre_R ,

pls try these formula given below.

Launch Date Variation:
DAYS({Campaign’s Est. Timeline}[1], {Campaign’s Timeline}[1])

Deadline Variation:
DAYS({Campaign’s Est. Timeline}[2], {Campaign’s Timeline}[2])

you need to replace [1] and [2] with the appropriate index numbers based on the position of the Launch Date and Deadline in the Timeline columns.

Hope its helpful for u.

Hey!

Thank you so much for your help!

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. I set my index range as [0] for the launch date (because it’s on the left in the timeline) and [1] for the deadline (because it’s on the right).

When running, Monday says “An unexpected error occurred” :confused:

PS: Great job on your YouTube channel! Very interesting stuff.

Thank you so much for your time.
