Calculating gap between years

[Eduardo_Dalcin]

Hi folks!

I have this column “defesa” that aggregate the year of post-graduation degree from Master and PhD.

Which is created with:

values = [c.Defesa for c in Formacao.lookupRecords(Orientando=$id) if c.Defesa]
return list(set(values))

I would like to have another column that calculates the gap between the years. Something like:

if len(defesa)=2
gap = "year1" - "year2"
return gap

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Eduardo!

Here is the formula you are looking for:

if len($defesa)==2:
  gap = abs($defesa[0]-$defesa[1])
  return gap

If there are two years listed under ‘Defesa’, find the difference between the two years then take the absolute value of that number (so it is always positive) - then return that number.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
Natalie

  return gap

You are a STAR Natalie!
