Rolling Filters Ranges

rdeguzman

I have expiry dates for documents. I am looking to create filters that dont ever have to have the ranges changed manually.

 

Today's date to 1 year from now.

 

AND

 

Today's date and 8 months from now to the end of the that 8th month.

 

Thoughts anyone?

 

Thanks for the help in advanced.

I found the answer that worked and figured since I did it myself I should post it. its already built into the filter tool, but I had to actually try and use the Custom Filter. 

 

[Visa Max Date] <= ToDate(
DateTimeAdd(DateTimeNow(), 1, "years")
) AND
[Visa Max Date] >= DateTimeNow()

Hi @rdeguzman,

 

you could use this formula in a Filter Tool to achieve it:

 

[Date] >= DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(),1,"years") AND DateTimeAdd(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeFirstOfMonth(),20, "month"),-1, "days") >= [Date]

 

 This calculates the Filter ranges based on today's date. I think you might need to make it to "21" month instead of 20, but that's it.

 

Workflow with the formula attached. Let me know if I got it right.

 

Best

Alex
