How to select first 5 days' records from each calendar month of given data set?

[TMHC]

I am using the following formula, but all results are coming back true.

if datetimediff(DateTimeTrim([ApprovedDate],"firstofmonth"),[ApprovedDate],"days")<=5 then
1 else 0 endif

Thanks in advance!

Hi @TMHC ,

I recognized that you would like to judge the [ApprovedDate] within 5 at the beginning of the month.

The start and end dates are reversed at DateTimeDiff expression.

This is the correct expression.

if datetimediff([ApprovedDate],DateTimeTrim([ApprovedDate],"firstofmonth"),"days")<=5 then
1 else 0 endif

If the complex expression doesn't work well, I recommend that you cut up them into pieces.

You can pull the records using a filter if the [ApprovedDate] is in date format by using a custom filter formula of: 

• tonumber(right([ApprovedDate],2)) <= 5

Hi @TMHC ,

I'm glad it works well.

If you have solved the problem, it would be helpful if you could accept it as a solution so that people can refer to it later.
