Entra ID expressions for attribute mapping

Hi shashidhar joliholi,

My first reply disappeared into the ether, so I'll try once more.

You haven't provided enough information, so I'm going to have to make some assumptions.

First, the context of your post appears to be provisioning from Workday into Active Directory.

Next, I'm going to assume your staging organisational unit is "OU=Users,OU=IAM,DC=abc,DC=com" - from your second IIF() statement (as you have a different value in the first IIF() statement).

Lastly, you have stated behaviours for when Now() is less than or greater than the ending date, but not when they're equal. So, I'm assuming that when they're equal, the employee is still active as it's their final day or working rather than their first day of not working.

An additional observation is that you missed providing a value for "Copenhagen" in your second IIF() statement, which is an error.

Original expression

Switch([StatusEndEmploymentDate],
   Switch([City],
      "OU=Users,DC=abc,DC=com",
      "Amsterdam", "OU=Users,OU=Amsterdam,DC=abc,DC=com",
      "Antwerp", "OU=Users,OU=Antwerp,DC=abc,DC=com",
      "Bengaluru", "OU=Users,OU=Bengaluru,DC=abc,DC=com",
      "Copenhagen", "OU=Users,OU=Copenhagen,DC=abc,DC=com"
   ),
   IIF(DateDiff("d", Now(), [StatusEndEmploymentDate])>"-1",
      Switch([City],
         "OU=Users,OU=IAM,DC=abc,DC=com",
         "Amsterdam", "OU=Users,OU=Amsterdam,DC=abc,DC=com",
         "Antwerp", "OU=Users,OU=Antwerp,DC=abc,DC=com",
         "Bengaluru", "OU=Users,OU=Bengaluru,DC=abc,DC=com",
         "Copenhagen"
      )
   )
)

Revised expression

IIF(IsNullOrEmpty([city])
   , "OU=Users,OU=IAM,DC=abc,DC=com"
   , IIF(IsNullOrEmpty([StatusEndEmploymentDate])
      , Switch([city]
         , "OU=Users,OU=IAM,DC=abc,DC=com"
         , "Amsterdam", "OU=Users,OU=Amsterdam,DC=abc,DC=com"
         , "Antwerp", "OU=Users,OU=Antwerp,DC=abc,DC=com"
         , "Bengaluru", "OU=Users,OU=Bengaluru,DC=abc,DC=com"
         , "Copenhagen", "OU=Users,OU=Copenhagen,DC=abc,DC=com"
      )
      , IIF(DateDiff("d", CDate([StatusEndEmploymentDate]), Now()) > 0
         , "OU=Users,OU=IAM,DC=abc,DC=com"
         , Switch([city]
            , "OU=Users,OU=IAM,DC=abc,DC=com"
            , "Amsterdam", "OU=Users,OU=Amsterdam,DC=abc,DC=com"
            , "Antwerp", "OU=Users,OU=Antwerp,DC=abc,DC=com"
            , "Bengaluru", "OU=Users,OU=Bengaluru,DC=abc,DC=com"
            , "Copenhagen", "OU=Users,OU=Copenhagen,DC=abc,DC=com"
         )
      )
   )
)

Additional note

Make sure the datetime values coming from Workday include the time zone offset or you can run into issues as many values are interpreted as UTC if no offset is provided. For example:

2025-02-28T15:45:15+08:00

Cheers,
