How to calculate dates in splunk?

[ositaumeozulu]

again i wanted to list difference in dates between two periods and i have this code

| eval LPD = strptime(LastPickupDate, "%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S")
| eval IInT = strptime(IIT, "%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S")
| eval diff = (IInT-LPD)/86400

| stats list(diff) by FacilityName

still getting blanks

Hi @ositaumeozulu,

let me understand: in each event you have LastPickupDate and IIT in those formats and FacilityName, is this correct?

Check if you have all the three fields in each event and check the date formats.

Ciao.

Hi @gcusello 

Many thanks, has gotten the hang of it, for the format i was using - instead of / as in my format, thanks for all your helps, the whole codes are working now
