RE: Formula assistance for custom transaction field.

Hello,

Our production process is tied to two dates on our sales order.  A Build Date  (When a car goes into production) and a Target Date (when it should be delivered to the customer).

Due to supply shortages, we would to keep the two dates for our production team as is but create a custom field that will give a “Delivery Window ” that would be presented to the customer, based on the Target Date.

The requirement  is to have the Delivery Window Show

  1. If the Target date is within the 1st -15th of the month  The window would be 1-15 (month of  the Target Date) 1-15 May
  2. If the  Target date is within the 16th -31st of the month  The window would be 16 -31 (month of  the Target Date)  16-31 Aug

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Brent

Could you do something like the below? Of course, as written, the ELSE will return data that is misleading/incorrect for months that don’t have 31 days in them. You could account for that in your formula, it just gets messier.

 

CASE WHEN TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR({targetdate}, ‘DD’)) <= 15 THEN ‘1-15 ‘ || TO_CHAR({targetdate}, ‘MON’) ELSE ’16-31 ‘ || TO_CHAR({targetdate}, ‘MON’) END
