Assume I have date columns in d1 & e1 and in q1 I have a reference date '01-JAN-2016' and in r1 I have '01-JAN-2017', and I want to write a query lines that mimics an excel formula line of
=ROUND(IF(AND(D2<$Q$1,E2<$R$1),E2-$Q$1,(IF(AND(D2>$Q$1,E2>$R$1),$R$1-D2,E2-D2)))/366,2)

TIA

And explain us what the formula does, this an Oracle forum not an Excel one.

When you see data in a table, displayed in a grid, they're KIND OF like rows in a spreadsheet

But you can't really reference them like rows in a spreadsheet

The only reliable way of referencing a particular row is by it's ROWID or Primary Key, or a UNIQUE column value

Rows are not ordered in an Oracle table - order is ONLY guaranteed when using an ORDERY BY in your query.

So what's row #1 when you run a query once, could be row #100 when you run it the second time.
