Instructions / Other Info: LESSON ONE:

In Case( ) expressions, the result associated with the first true argument is returned. Since the first test in your formula is a subset of the second, it will always be returned (ie in all cases where the first argument is valid).

I suggest you try re-ordering the expression and adjusting the arguments (so that the first test checks if the due date has passed). Eg:

Case(

date_deadline < Get(CurrentDate) and txt_status = "Working"; "TARDY";

date_deadline ≥ Get(CurrentDate); date_deadline - Get(CurrentDate);

"X"

)

LESSON TWO:

& appends two strings together:

"ab" & "cd" -> "abcd"

"and" is a boolean operator:

True and False -> False

True and True -> True
