I am calucating the Work duration time of start and completion Date,Means Work duration=work completion date-work start date.
if work completion date is NULL means work not completed , then work completion date has to replace with system date(Current date).
How we do that in BO
Thanks in advance.
 
Build a variable.

=if IsNull(<completion date>) then CurrentDate() else <completion date>

Could you also use

Code:
CASE WHEN completiondate is null then currentdate
else completiondate
END
