Formula Tool

Hi, I have 2 question would like to ask in Formula Tool. Guess I don't need to attach sample data at all. 

1. My Data show as quarterly value and I want to find monthly value by using Total amount divided by 3. Is anyone can help me with the formula to write in "fx" expression?

2. I want to add a column First Date of Current Month. For example like this month is October and I want to put it on October 01, 2020. what is the best "fx" expression here? Thanks.

Hi @DararithYat ,

 

1. The expression for this formula is just translating what you have written: the column name of quarterly value divided by 3, i.e. [Column name] / 3

2. The expression is: DateTimeFirstOfMonth()

I hope this helps! I have attached a sample workflow for your reference.


Best,

Ganesh

Thanks Ganesh. First I saw Date of the First month too, then I tried to kill the left 10 digit and I did not change my formula that's why it keep showing me wrong date that I don't want. Now it works. I appreciate the help.
