I am struggling to get the following formula to work when adding a column in the PQE
= if ([Theoretical Next Visit] = "" or [Theoretical Next Visit] < DateTime.LocalNow) and ([Next Visit] <> "" or [Next Visit] >= DateTime.LocalNow) then 1 else 0

Could somebody point out where this isn't working?

TIA

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Two problems I can see:

  • DateTime.LocalNow should be DateTime.LocalNow()
  • Rather than comparing datetime values with the empty string "", you may want to compare with null instead. It seems that this doesn't cause an error, but a datetime value will never be equal to ""

Regards,
Owen
