Example 

 

jlfromm_0-1646339392816.pngjlfromm_1-1646339452466.png

 

However this saying

your problem is the last part of your expression:

else "error" or 0 is written wrong for a few reasons:

1) Else is not a compare (elseif is).

2) "error" or 0 is litterally an expression comparing two values which cannot be compared (a string and a number)

3) This field is a date field it cannot have either a string, a number or a boolean value which your OR statement would return in it.

4) Try else null()

@jlfromm the last part of the else condition is not correct. you cannot use 'or' in the if else condition 

 

1. else ''error' or 0 is not correct, it should be else 'error'

2. you cannot use string or integer in the date type format field

 

you can write something like below

@jlfromm I can see there is a space after one of the ElseIF statement (3rd else if). please remove the space

@jlfromm I agree with @binuacs. your last endif has space.
