How to use a filter

Adam-Adam

Hi All,

 

Basic question, how do I use a filter.

The goal is to filter by 18 months prior to today's date.

 

What is the formula I enter in "Custom Filter"

 

Thanks

Follow up remark.

 

Could I also get the "Custom Filter" for:

 

12 months to 3 months ago today

i.e. 04/07/2021 - 04/07/2022

 

Thanks

Hi @Adam-Adam 

 

Take a look at the attached workflow.

 

1) The goal is to filter by 18 months prior to today's date:

[Date] >= DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(), -18, 'months')

2) 12 months to 3 months ago today:

 [Date] >= DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(), -12, 'months') and [Date] <= DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(), -3, 'months')
