Re: Show dates in the form

 

Hi Pepe,
I think this is really not supported at the moment, meaning aggregation or
calculation of  data values stored as dates. This type of aggregation is
always not so straightforward. I know from experience with other WATSAN
projects, that these types of calculations are often needed, but in our
case, it was done with a server side script, which performed the
calculation for instance, calculating the number of days/months between two
data elements which was then stored in a separate data element (as an
integer). Maybe there are other solutions, but that is what we ended up
doing.

Regards,
Jason
