West415 Populate field with number of days open?
Hi,
I have a custom field on a custom object called "Days Job Open". I want to know how to populate this field via a workflow and specifically what criteria would I need. I know what I want to do, but not quite sure of the steps needed to make it happen.
The logic is that whenever a job is posted I want to populate this field with the value equal to the number of days the job has been open. All jobs have a "published date" and an "end date" so I want to subtract and get the difference and that will be my value I want to put in my "Days Job Open" column.
How can I do this?
Hi,
You can directly use the formula field below, or you can use the formula criteria in Workflow to implement your scenario.
Use the Formula and let me know, if u have any doubts.
IF( ISBLANK( Close_Date__c ),
TODAY() - Open_Date__c ,
Close_Date__c - Open_Date__c )
