having issues with DAYS function in Qdesign

[Robert Deskin]

I honestly can’t remember if there’s a size limit, but even the days in the early 2000s were over 32,768.

Have you tried a simple QUIZ report displaying the value of DAYS(20200630)? Are you using 8-digit dates?

If DAYS is not working, you might try using DECIMALTIME without using any time portion, and set the base date to 20000101. That gives you days since January 1, 2000.

I’m only going by what the manuals say because I no longer have a working version of PowerHouse available to me.
