Hello:
I am hoping that someone with some more expertise will be willing to help
me with what might seem like a basic question.
I want to calculate the number of days between two dates (to understand the
number of days of hospital service patients received) - I have an intake
date and a discharge date, the current format of the dates is in Month,
Day, Year, order.
I am not sure of how to use the compute transform data feature to
accomplish this - as it is more than simply: DischargeDate - IntakeDate
Further, since the hospital program only offers services on weekdays -
would I have to multiply by 5/7ths to get a more accurate count?
Thank you very much for your consideration of this problem.
Paul
