To be a little clearer, the current date and time needs to be within the time interval specified by the start date and time and the ‘start date and time + duration’, something like

               start-datetime <= current-datetime <= start-datetime + duration

But I’m not sure how to express the above properly. Can this be done with just one condition, or will I need two conditions?

Subject: Need to create condition based on current date and time, start date and time, and duration

I’m using Drools 5.4, and am developing an Excel spreadsheet containing a decision table that requires another condition based on

· The current date and time specified as an attribute on a Java object

· The start date and duration of an event that are both specified within the spreadsheet (duration should be specified in hours)

Is there a way to do this?
