Results in a Date field.

[Lanie]

Good Morning,
We have a report which needs to compare the contract date and ship date, then if the ship date is later than the contract date, we want to show it as late (LT).

Here's my formula for that.

If {CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN.WANTED_DELIVERY_DATE}<={CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN.REAL_SHIP_DATE}
then "LT"

However, if the two dates are the same I am still getting the LT designation, and what we need is to show it blank.

Can someone help us out with formula...I know it must be something easy, but I just can't figure it out.

Thanks, in advance for you help.
Elaine

Try removing the equal sign:

If {CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN.WANTED_DELIVERY_DATE}<{CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN.REAL_SHIP_DATE}
then "LT"

You might also want to account for orders not yet shipped by changing the formula to:

if (
isnull({CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN.REAL_SHIP_DATE}) and
{CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN.WANTED_DELIVERY_DATE} < currentdate
)
or
(
{CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN.WANTED_DELIVERY_DATE}<{CUSTOMER_ORDER_JOIN.REAL_SHIP_DATE}
)
then "LT"
