atoti.date_diff()#

atoti.date_diff(from_date, to_date, /, *, unit='days')#

Return a measure equal to the difference between two dates.

The measure evaluates to None if one of the dates is None.

Parameters:

  • from_date (_DateConstantOrVariableMeasureConvertible) – The starting date.

  • to_date (_DateConstantOrVariableMeasureConvertible) – The end date.

  • unit (Literal['seconds', 'minutes', 'hours', 'days', 'weeks', 'months', 'years']) – The difference unit. Seconds, minutes, and hours are only allowed if the dates contain time information.

Return type:
