Date format and filtering date

Hi All,

 

I need to filter data based on a invoice date. I need to see all transactions for specific month let's say Jan-22 in a data where I have invoices for multiple periods. My date format is 12/01/2023. I was trying to filter as below but getting error that date format is incorrect. How can I fix this?

 

Invoice date >= '2022-01-01'

AND

Invoice date <= '2022-01-31'

 

Many thanks for your help,

Aga

Hi @aga123 ,

Your date is likely in a string field, you will need to convert it to a date first. Try this:

Hi @aga123 

 

Try this formula inside of your filter tool:

 

datetimeparse([Invoice date], '%d/%m/%Y') >= '2022-01-01'

AND

datetimeparse([Invoice date], '%d/%m/%Y')  <= '2022-01-31'

Hi @aga123 

 

Please change the Invoice date to Alteryx date format YYYY-MM-DD and then use the filter.

Use datetime tool to achieve this.
