I use $SELECT() in Architect to aggregate various data conditions into a single dimension.

I have a data table like this: id, user, userData1, userData2...

Where each user action is the %Integer ID of that action from some source. Then in expression field i use: $SELECT(userAction1:"This user action", userAction2:"That user action".) and so on, up to 14 conditions, excluding the default placeholder 1:"Other" (which is always empty because there is a condition with 100% chance).

Hi all,

I’m working on a data transformation in IRIS where I need to calculate the difference in hours between two timestamps stored as %TimeStamp.

Example:

Set startTime = "2024-07-12 08:30:00"
Set endTime = "2024-07-12 15:15:00"

I’d like to calculate the number of hours (with decimals, like 6.75) between them. What's the recommended way to do this in ObjectScript? I’ve seen examples using $ZDATETIME, but I’m not sure if that’s the cleanest approach.

Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jhonn Marie
