    Target End Date in 3 Hours

      I'm trying to create a true/false formula field for highlighting conditions on quickviews. The field would be set to true when the tickets Target End Date (on the incident service target object) is in 3 hours. However I'm getting an error when I try and use the NOW() function.

       

      if(datevalue(BMCServiceDesk__TargetEndDate__c - 1/1260)<= NOW(),"true","false")

       

      getting the following error, however the BMCServiceDesk__TargetEndDate__c is a date/time field so I don't see why says "expecting Date"  :

       

      Error: Incorrect parameter type for operator '<='. Expected Date, received DateTime

       

       

       

      I have a field that's doing "due in 24 hours" that appears to be working

       

      if(datevalue(BMCServiceDesk__TargetEndDate__c - 1)<= Today(),"true","false")

      Anyone have an ideas?

          In case anyone needs this in the future here is the formula to get a true/false for "target end date is in 3 hours"

           

          We are using this on quickviews so that all tickets due in 3 hours turn orange. This helps our staff quickly prioritize which tickets they should be looking at.

           

          IF(((BMCServiceDesk__TargetEndDate__c - NOW())*24) <= 3, "true", "false")

           

          I then referenced this formula field on the incident object using a formula text field

          SLA_Status_Lookup__r.Target_End_Date_in_3_Hours__c
